What is Mental Health First Aid? 

Mental Health First Aid is the help you give to someone developing a mental health problem or experiencing a crisis, until professional help arrives or the crisis resolves. The course is developed by Mental Health First Aid Australia and teaches a practical action plan you can use at work, at home and in your community. It doesn't turn you into a therapist. It gives you the confidence to step in and know what to do next.

Who is this course for?

  • Workplaces wanting trained first aiders across teams and sites

  • Managers and HR or WHS staff supporting psychosocial safety

  • Parents, carers, and community or sporting groups
