Join Pro Leaders for this 2-day workshop and ensure you have a Mental Health First Aider on your team, business or organisation.
WH&S is important for us all and it extends beyond the physical.
Each year 1 in 5 Australians will experience a mental illness. Many people are not knowledgeable or confident to offer assistance. Physical first aid is accepted and widespread in our community, however most do not cover mental health problems. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) teaches people the skills to help someone who they’re concerned about.
In this Accredited MHFA course, you will 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.
Over the 2 days you will discover:
- how to identify various mental health issues
- options to assist adults who are developing or experiencing a mental health problem
- how to respond when someones says they “R Not OK”
Participants who complete the course can take the online Accreditation Assessment in order to become an Accredited Mental Health First Aider, valid for 3 years.
This course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.
