Mental Health First Aid Training Course Sydney

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course teaches people simple, practical first aid skills for helping a family member, friend, co-worker or other person who is experiencing mental health problems. MHFA course provides you with knowledge of how to listen and respond to someone with a mental health problem, even if they are experiencing a mental health crisis. You will learn how to help someone to access the support they might need for the successful management of symptoms as part of their recovery journey. MHFA course provides valuable knowledge for:

  • workers who have regular contact with the community: nurses, pharmacists, physical trainers and security guards amongst others
  • managers and HR practitioners

Since employers owe a duty of care to their employees, customers, interns and apprentices under Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), workplaces require a MHFA-competent person.

  • Depression
  • Anxiety problems

  • Suicidal thoughts and behaviours
  • Non-suicidal self-injury
  • Panic attacks
  • Traumatic events
  • Severe effects of alcohol or other drug use
  • Sever psychotic states

  • What are mental health problems and mental health crisis
  • What are the signs and symptoms of common and disabling mental health problems in adults
  • How to approach them and provide initial help
