Mental Health First Aid

Around 1 in 5 Australian adults experience a common mental illness each year. Understanding how to talk about mental health and help someone in need are important skills. Many people feel uncomfortable and unprepared when thinking about starting a conversation with someone they are concerned about.

Courses are currently being delivered online, see course information below.

If you would prefer Mental Health First Aid to be delivered in a face-to-face format, these will be available as Victoria eases COVID-19 restrictions. Contact us to register your interest.
