Why attend a Standard Mental Health First Aid course?
Evaluations consistently show that by attending a course, participants improve their knowledge of mental illnesses, their treatments and appropriate first aid strategies.
Course participants also report improved confidence in providing mental health first aid to individuals and by improving mental health literacy, much of the stigma surrounding mental health problems is reduced.
A Standard Mental Health Course First Aid also looks at how to apply mental health first aid in a range of crisis situations, including suicidal thoughts and behaviours, panic attacks, aggressive behaviours, and severe psychotic states.
What will I learn in a Standard Mental Health First Aid course?

The course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.
It provides an overview of mental illnesses, risk factors, prevalence, and impact before taking a much closer look at the following mental health problems:
- Depression,
- Psychosis,
- Anxiety,
- Bipolar and
- Substance use problems.
