Mental health challenges can affect anyone. Often, the first signs are noticed in everyday interactions. Just as physical first aid provides immediate support in a medical emergency, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) equips staff with the skills to recognise, respond, and provide initial help to someone experiencing a mental health concern or crisis until professional support is available.
Delivered by accredited instructors and backed by Mental Health First Aid Australia, this nationally recognised training empowers your team to act with confidence, compassion, and care.
By embedding MHFA into your organisation, you build a culture of understanding and responsiveness, one trained staff member, one action, and one conversation at a time.
Mental health challenges are increasingly common, particularly in high-pressure care and community support roles. MHFA training enables your staff to recognise the signs, respond appropriately, and refer individuals to professional help. It enhances safety, promotes a culture of wellbeing, and helps reduce absenteeism and burnout.
