Mental Health First Aid Training:
15th & 16th December 2021
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the initial help given to
someone who is developing a mental health problem,
experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health
problem or a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until
appropriate professional support is received or until the
crises resolves.
The MHFA course is a 12-hour course (4 modules, each 3
hours) that teaches people how to assist someone who is
developing a mental health problem or in a mental health
crisis.
Participants will learn the signs and symptoms of
mental health problems and what sort of help has been
shown by research to be effective. They will learn a
framework for communication, how to offer and provide
initial help, and how to guide a person towards appropriate
treatments and other supportive help.
