Mental Health First Aid - Rockhampton
Event description
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Our accredited MHFA training teaches participants how to assist adults experiencing a mental health concern, whether an emerging issue or a crisis. Just as physical first aid offers immediate care for physical injuries, MHFA prepares you to offer support until professional help is available or the situation improves. Delivered by certified MHFA instructors, participants will learn to:
- Recognise early warning signs of mental health concerns.
- Respond to crises like panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, or traumatic events.
- Providing initial support and connecting individuals to appropriate professional help.
