Overview
The Mental Health First Aid workshop will teach participants how to provide initial support to another adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or crisis until professional help is received or the crisis is resolved. Participants learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems in adults, how to recognise and respond to an emerging or worsening mental health problem and the treatments and support available. Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, participants will learn how to approach someone they are concerned about and initiate a conversation about those concerns. Participants will also learn how to offer initial support and information and encourage the person to seek professional help or other support. Participants who complete the course become Mental Health First Aiders, equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to provide someone with mental health information and support when it matters.
