Mental Health First Aid: Learn skills to recognise, connect and respond to mental health concerns

1 in 5 Australians will experience a mental health problem in any given year. That means that every person is likely to know someone who is experiencing a mental health problem, whether that is a family member, a friend or colleague. In fact, mental illness is now said to affect every Australian either directly or indirectly.

We need more mental health literacy and support skills in the community to help catch more Australians experiencing mental health problems and troubled times.

This is where Mental Health First Aid training can help.

Mental Health First Aid skills based, early-intervention training programs mobilise and empower 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.

Anyone can have a conversation that may save a life. Everyone should know how.

Mental Health First Aid will provide you with the skills to:

• Intervene Early
  Recognise the warning signs of mental health problems in other adults

• Provide Skills
  Provides skills needed to speak openly and accurately about mental health

• Respond in a Crisis
  Respond across a range of crisis situations where an adult may be at risk of harm

• Reduce Stigma
  Reduce stigma and increase support for those experiencing and living with mental health problems
