Course Summary

Mental Health First Aid is an internationally recognised training program.

Mental health is a complex issue that impacts individuals, families, communities and workplaces, of all industry types, locations and sizes.

1 in 5 Australians will experience a mental health problem in any given year. That means that every person is likely to know someone who is experiencing a mental health problem, whether that is a family member, a friend or colleague. In fact, mental illness is now said to affect every Australian either directly or indirectly.

You can join a community with over 1 million Australians trained in this evidence based course.

Mental Health First Aid covers topics of

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Psychosis
  • Substance use
  • Suicide

  • Panic attacks
  • Aggressive behaviour
  • Medical emergencies
  • Self care

- Provide initial help to someone experiencing a mental health crisis
