Chris Morgan
Chris Morgan first joined Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) in England in 2006, and is one of the founder members of the MHFA National Training Team in England. He works part time as MHFA England Business Development Director.
Chris has a background in management, and has 25 years experience working with a family- owned engineering company as the managing director. Following the closure of the firm and a period of personal experience of severe depression, he started work in the voluntary sector, particularly with two local MIND associations. Chris then joined the South East Development Centre of the National Institute for Mental Health in England (NIMHE) in March 2004 as a Development Consultant for Suicide Prevention, taking on the Programme Lead role in January 2006.
Chris's personal experience of mental health issues has inspired his involvement in mental health work. His knowledge of the MHFA training course in Scotland made him realize its value, and led to his involvement in developing MHFA in England.
Chris is Chair of the Sevenoaks & Area Mental Health Awareness Group. He also gives business advice, does consultancy work in the voluntary sector, and teaches bridge. Chris holds an MBA from London Business School.
