Welcome to Mental Health First Aid
Imagine a world where we all have the skills, knowledge and confidence to help someone experiencing a mental health problem
Service Locations
Training and wellbeing program are delivered across Victoria. Available on-site or at partner venues in Metro, Peninsula, and Regional locations.
The Standard Mental Health First Aid course instructs participants on how to offer initial support to an adult experiencing a mental health issue or crisis until professional assistance is available or the situation resolves.
Course participants learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems in adults, how to recognise and respond to an emerging or worsening mental health problem and the treatments and supports available.
Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, course participants learn how to approach someone they are concerned about and initiate a conversation about those concerns. Participants also learn how to offer initial support and information and how to encourage the person to seek professional help or other supports.
Adults who complete the course become Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders), equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to provide someone with mental health information and support when it matters most.
