We will teach you how to provide initial support to co-workers who may be experiencing a mental health problem or a mental health crisis. This support is meant to last until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves itself and is implemented using a practical, evidence-based Action Plan.
This course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people who have experienced mental health problems, as well as knowledge collected from trained professionals. So, if you’re looking for a Mental Health First Aid Course For the Workplace or other places of business, this is the tailored course to suit. With activities, questions and action plans designed around the work environment, all of our material is designed to help benefit the working professional.
Any adult (18+) seeking to support their Colleagues, family, friends, neighbours, community groups or general public who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves, using a practical, evidence-based action plan can attend.
What living with mental health issues feels like
We don’t support the idea that mental health is ‘not a real health concern’. The reason we refer to the course as Mental Health First Aid is that, like any other health issue you may have, mental health issues can have very serious and widespread repercussions. Our mental states aren’t always in our control, particularly those who have undergone one or several serious traumatic events.
For those living with a mental health condition, the results of not getting treatment can be devastating and may lead to further mental health problems over time. It’s our goal to equip Australians with the skills and confidence to help those around them get the support they need.
