Mental Health First Aid (Standard)

Most people are familiar with physical first aid and the idea that when you attend a physical first aid course you learn the skills and knowledge required to recognise and respond to life-threatening emergencies and provide a first aid response to a casualty across a range of different situations.

Mental Health First Aid training adopts a similar approach. Participants are taught about the different types of mental illness and using a practical, skills-based action plan, you learn the skills to assess and respond to someone experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis and how to access the types of help and supports that are needed.

Mental Health First Aid is a great resource that would assist your church & leaders as they support others. If you would like to find out more about MHFA, please see the link to their website below:
