Mental Health First Aid Awareness

This awareness course is perfect for anyone looking to learn about Mental Health First Aid, whether for work, home, or personal development. You’ll spend time with an experienced instructor who will guide you through everything step-by-step. It’s a hands-on, practical course where you’ll gain valuable knowledge about recognising and responding to mental health concerns.

This is a non-accredited awareness course. It does not lead to a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills in recognising and assisting with various mental health problems, as practiced under Mental Health First Aid Awareness.

As an awareness course, this will cover topics such as depression, eating disorders, stress, anxiety and other mental health-related issues. This course will focus primarily on recognition and is not meant to supplement a full 2-day Mental Health First Aid Awareness course.

Completing a first aid course has never been so enjoyable, with our four-hour class suitable for those needing workplace training or for those who want to know what to do ‘just in case’.
