Mental Health First Aid

Empower yourself with the skills that could save a LIFE !

Want to equip yourself with vital, potentially life saving knowledge ?

MHFA is a course designed to give you the tools to better understand Mental health issues and how you can best respond to them in real world scenarios.

Most people are familiar with the idea of a physical first aid courses that teach the skills and knowledge required to recognise and respond to life-threatening emergencies and provide a first aid response across a range of different situations.  

MHFA adopts a similar approach.

Using a practical, skills-based action plan, participants learn the skills to recognise and respond to someone experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis, until professional help is received or the crisis resolves.

Individuals who complete Mental Health First Aid training are known as MHFAiders. Equipped with the skills to listen, connect, and offer support when it matters most, MHFAiders play a vital role in reducing stigma and promoting pathways to support for those experiencing mental health problems in our workplaces, communities, schools, and tertiary institutions.
