Similar to physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid Training is vital in any workplace. It empowers your staff with the skills and confidence to support someone having a mental health crisis as well as during non-crisis situations.
Mental health is a significant issue for individuals, organisations and our communities. In fact, one in five Australians experience a mental health illness in any given year.
Businesses of all sizes have a role to play in creating and maintaining a culture of care or face the cost, which can be billions of dollars lost to reduced productivity, compensation claims and absenteeism.
Creating a safe environment and reducing the stigma around mental health ensures those who need help are encouraged to seek it, and those who recognise signs of mental health illness in colleagues can act before they those problems become emergencies.
The certified two-day Mental Health First Aid Training is a ground-breaking practical and skills-based program that teaches participants to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health illness and crisis in the workplace.
Delivered by an experienced and accredited Mental Health First Aid Instructor, the course provides the knowledge, tools and confidence needed to respond early to workers who are experiencing mental illness, so they are connected with appropriate support as soon as possible.
Our training increases mental health literacy and teaches vital skills so your employees can recognise the signs and be confident having those difficult conversations.
Topics covered include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts and behaviours, where and how to seek help for someone with a mental illness, and what to do in a crisis situation.
Over two days participants will learn to:
Be able to recognise and respond to warning signs of mental health illness.
Help people who are at risk of harm due to mental health illness.
Have the skills and knowledge needed to have those life-changing conversations.
Encourage others to speak openly and freely about mental health.
