2 in 5 Young Australians will suffer with a mental health problem in any one year. Mental Health First Aid is about being prepared, it gives you practical, evidence-based tools to recognise when someone might need support, how to respond, and how to guide them toward the right help. It’s not about becoming a therapist, just like physical First Aid doesn’t make you a doctor, but it is about knowing what to do in those first crucial moments.

 

The skills you learn can make a real difference. In fact, they can be life changing, and sometimes, life saving.
