Mental Health First Aid
First Aid is the help given to an injured person before medical treatment can be obtained. Mental Health First Aid is the help given to someone developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until appropriate professional treatment is received or until the crisis resolves.
This nationally recognised Adult Mental Health First Aid Course will be of benefit to people working in a wide range of human services roles, especially those working in community settings. This program has been shown to be effective in improving mental health literacy, reducing stigma and increasing helping behaviours. |
