Course Overview
Mental health challenges are prevalent, affecting one in four people each year. Yet, stigma and misunderstanding often prevent open conversations and timely support. MHFA training empowers individuals to recognise early signs of mental health issues, engage in supportive dialogues, and guide those in need toward appropriate resources. By fostering a culture of empathy and awareness, we can make a significant difference in the lives of others. MHFA is an internationally recognised training program designed to teach participants how to identify, understand, and assist someone experiencing a mental health problem. Similar to physical first aid, MHFA provides the skills to offer initial support until professional help is available or the crisis resolves.
