Mental Health First Aid Training

What is Mental Heath First Aid?

 

Whilst people often have a basic understanding of common physical health problems, there is widespread ignorance and misunderstanding of mental health. General first aid courses are recognised as improving the public’s skills in giving initial and appropriate help at medical emergencies however most of these courses do not address helping with mental health crisis or developing problems. 


In Australia, approximately one in five adults will experience a common mental illness in any given year. Most of us at some point in our lives will have close contact with a work colleague, family member or friend experiencing a mental illness, problem or in distress.  It makes sense to prioritise mental health education so you, or persons in your workforce, know how to support when help is needed.


"Mental Health First Aid is the help offered to a person developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until appropriate professional help is received or until the crisis resolves."                                                                                                                        pg 12 MHFA Manual Ed 4

 

See Below for the range of Mental Health First Aid Training options both face to face and online including blends of the two. We are available to discuss options with you and can create customised packages to suit your needs including a Mental Health Station of resources for your Community centre or workplace intranet.
