The 12-hour Standard Mental Health First Aid course is for any interested adult, community group, school corporate organisation.

You will learn how to assist an adult 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.

This course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.

This is an education course, to learn how to give first aid to others, and is not a therapy or support group.
