Our Approach to Mental Health First Aid Training
Our focus is on creating a human, respectful and person-centred learning environment while delivering the Mental Health First Aid Australia course in accordance with its prescribed course content and structure.
The Standard Mental Health First Aid course equips adults with the knowledge, skills and confidence to recognise and respond to another adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis.
Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, participants learn how to approach someone they are concerned about and initiate a supportive mental health first aid conversation. They also learn how to provide initial support and information, and encourage the person to seek appropriate professional help or other supports.
Participants develop practical skills to:
-
recognise signs and symptoms of mental health problems
-
respond to emerging, worsening or crisis situations
-
initiate a mental health first aid conversation
-
provide initial, appropriate support
-
understand barriers to help-seeking and available supports
-
apply self-care practices as a Mental Health First Aider.
Adults who complete the course become Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders), equipped with the knowledge, confidence and skills to provide mental health first aid support when it matters most.
Training is delivered by a Mental Health First Aid Australia trained and Licensed Instructor.
What our trained MHFAiders have let us know.
These are great courses and expertly run by Workplace Mental First Aid. I've done two of them now; two of the best courses I have undertaken in my entire corporate career spanning nearly 40 years. If you have a genuine interest in the mental health and well-being of fellow humans, these course are a great place to start.
We had a small but diverse group of people, including people of different ethnic backgrounds, neurodivergent people, and people who identified as LBTIQA+. The facilitator did a great job creating a safe space to learn
Our Instructor was patient, kind, and delivered the course content really well. We attended as a group and were all very grateful for her approach, particularly with such heavy content. Our booking process was easy and straightforward, a great experience all around. Thank you so much!
