WHAT THIS EVENT IS ABOUT
Approximately 20% of Australian adults experience a common mental illness each year. Completing a MHFA Course will help you to develop the skills to support a client, friend, family member, or co-worker.
Having mental health first aid skills means that you can assist someone developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis and make a real difference to your community and in your workplace.
Learn how to assist adults who are developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis, until appropriate professional help is received, or the crisis resolves.
Many people feel uncomfortable and unprepared when thinking about starting a mental health conversation with someone they are concerned about. Understanding how to talk about mental health and having the confidence and knowledge to help someone in need are important skills that any person in the community can learn.
Mental Health in the workplace is a growing concern. This course will assist employers to create a workplace where mental health is identified as of key importance and where there are trained personnel available to staff to identify concerns and address issues before they escalate.
In completing this course attendees can become an Accredited Mental Health First Aider. Complete an online assessment after the course to become accredited.
