ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID

Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based course developed in Australia 20 years ago, and now in almost 30 countries around the world.

The course was the first of its kind and just like physical first aid, provides people with the knowledge and skills to provide first-level support and guidance until the person is connected with professional services.

You will learn how to assist someone 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.

This course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.

Mental health problems covered:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety problems
  • Psychosis
  • Substance use problems. 

Mental health crises covered: 

  • Suicidal thoughts and behaviours
  • Panic attacks
  • Traumatic events
  • Severe psychotic states
  • Severe effects from alcohol or other drug use
  • Aggressive behaviours.



TRAINING DELIVERY

This training is delivered in person over two days, from 9.00am – 4.30pm both days

Mental Health First Aid is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.
