SUMMARY:Mental Health First Aid - February 2027
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 20% of Australian adults experience a common mental illness each year. Completing a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Course will help you to develop the skills to support a friend\, family member or co-worker. \nIn this informative and practical course\, you will learn about the signs and symptoms of common and disabling mental health problems in adults\, how to provide initial help\, where and how to get professional help\, what sort of help has been shown by research to be effective\, and how to provide mental health first aid in a crisis situation using a practical\, evidence-based action plan. \nMental health first aid skills learnt by participants in this course can be applied in any setting. Course content includes case-studies\, videos and resources tailored to the learning needs of community/public course participants. \nContent was clear\, engaging and easily comprehendible. I think the trainer summed up hours’ worth of my psychology degree in 5hrs and went beyond by giving me the confidence to apply it. I have already recommended this course! \n\n  \n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\nThis course covers common and disabling mental health problems and crisis situations.
