Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training helps mobilise and empower adults in the workplace and community by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to recognise, understand and respond to another adult experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis.
The course is designed to teach you how to assist an adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves, using a practical, evidence-based action plan.
Face-to-Face
A 2-day course led by a Licensed MHFA Instructor. This course provides an understanding of the signs and symptoms of common and disabling mental health problems in adults and how to provide initial help.
