Mental Health First Aid Course Information

  • MHFA course is designed and promoted by MHFA Australia – a national not-for-profit health promotion charity.
  • Mental health problems can affect anyone in the community and inaccurate and stigmatising attitudes towards people with mental illness are common.
  • Many people lack the knowledge, skills, and confidence to support a friend, family member or co-worker experiencing a mental health problem, including how to approach someone and start a safe conversation.
  • With everyday stress situations more and more workplaces require a Mental Health officer – a person who can detect a person’s mental problems at the beginning stage and who can help.
  • Encouraging early help-seeking is one way to promote a mentally healthy workplace.
