FEATURE FRIDAY - Mental Health First Aid

We are familiar with the traditional First Aid course, but were you aware there is also a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course?

There are now numerous MHFA courses available, with the general course known as ‘Standard MHFA’, and specialised MHFA courses covering Youth, Older Person and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders - just to name a few!

Jackie, our Business Development Manager, attended the Standard MHFA course back in 2022 to obtain her 3 year accreditation. On Monday, she attended the one day refresher course, and has come away wanting to share this course and a few resources with everyone.
