Supporting someone through a mental health challenge can change, and even save lives. But knowing the signs to look for, and how to respond with confidence, isn’t always easy. MH101® gives you the tools, knowledge, and practical strategies to make a real difference.

Recognise signs of mental distress and mental wellbeing
Respond in supportive and safe ways
Know what to do when there’s a risk of suicide or self-harm
Access and refer to expert help when needed
Maintain your own wellbeing while helping others

What You’ll Gain

A stronger understanding of common mental health challenges: depression, anxiety, psychosis, substance use, stress, and trauma
Practical, real-world tools you can use immediately in your personal life, workplace, or community
Increased confidence to support friends, whānau, colleagues, or community members in distress
