Learn skills & gain confidence to assist community members experiencing Mental Health problems
This is an early-intervention training program designed to mobilise and empower Muslim communities by equipping people with the knowledge and confidence to recognise, connect and respond to someone experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis.
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.
Learn about the signs and symptoms of common and disabling mental health problems in adults, how to provide initial help, where and how to get professional help, what sort of help has been shown by research to be effective, and how to provide first aid in a crisis situation. This is an education course, to learn how to give first aid to others, and is not a therapy or support group.

Forrest Therapy
The practise of spending time in nature for therapeutic benefit is now known as Forest Therapy.
A Forest Therapy walk is not an energetic, exercise walk. It is a very slow, relaxing meander through nature that is suitable for all persons of all mobility levels. It is done mostly quietly and with no technology to distract us. It is very much a matter of the journey being the focus, not the destination.
The walk will consist of a number of activities that your FTG will offer to you to participate in. These activities are designed to assist you with slowing down and reconnecting with nature through your senses and creativity and are not mandatory or prescriptive.
Your FTG will provide you with an explanation of the history, meaning and benefits of Forest Therapy as a public health practice, but this walk is not designed as an educational or therapy session. Nature is your therapist, with the FTG as your facilitator.
