Mental Health First Aid AUSTRALIA - CELEBRATING 25 years!
What is Mental Heath First Aid?
"Most people are familiar with the idea of 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. Mental Health First Aid training 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 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." mhfa australia
The Mental Health Station is proud to have walked this path wth MHFA Australia being in the first group to train in WA. Our Director & Lead Trainer Sydel Weinstein is grateful to have been awarded 'Longest Standing Instructor - Australian Operations' TRAINING CALENDAR
