Standard Mental Health First Aid

Learn how to assist adults who are developing a mental health problem

The 12-hour Standard Mental Health First Aid course is for any interested adult.

You will learn how to assist an adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves, using a practical, evidence-based action plan.

​

This course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals and is delivered in-person in 4 x 3 hour sessions. This can be done over 2 full days, or the sessions can be separated to suit your organisation’s needs (providing the course is completed within a 4 week period). 

​

Over the four sessions we will cover the risk factors, prevalence and impact of mental illness, the spectrum of interventions and MHFA action plans to assist with the following:
 

• Depression

• Suicidal thoughts and behaviours

• Anxiety Problems

• Psychosis

• Substance Use Problems

Course fees are $250 per participant.
