Build Confidence to Support Others – Join the Conversations About Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Course

This specialised 4-hour course designed and developed by Mental Health First Aid Australia empowers adults with the skills and confidence to support someone who may be engaging in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Whether you're a friend, family member, colleague, or community member, this training helps you recognise the signs, respond effectively, and offer meaningful support.

Through practical, evidence-based strategies, you’ll learn how to approach sensitive conversations with care and confidence. The course focuses on reducing stigma, encouraging help-seeking, and ensuring your response is safe, supportive, and non-judgmental. You’ll also gain insight into the reasons behind NSSI and how to guide someone toward professional help or other supports.

Recognised by Suicide Prevention Australia as a safe and effective program, this course is ideal for anyone wanting to make a real difference in their community. No prior mental health training is required—just a willingness to learn and support others.
