Completing an MHFA course will help you to develop the skills to support an employee, a co-worker, friend or family member. In the same way that some people are First Aiders for physical conditions, Mental Health First Aid is:
The help provided to a person developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis.
Given until appropriate professional treatment is received or until the crisis resolves.
Participants will gain eligibility to complete an online Accreditation Assessment in order to receive a Mental Health First Aider Certificate of Accreditation valid for 3 years.
