What is MHFA? An internationally recognised and accredited qualification. Just like physical health first aid, mental health first aid teaches practical ways to manage mental health symptoms and crises. Participants will gain a sound knowledge of a wide range of mental health diagnoses, ways to assess and directly help those experiencing a mental health problem, and how to effectively refer them to further support.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) will cover:
Basic knowledge about common mental health problems and related crisis situations
What you can provide as a layperson and when to get help
MHFA Action Plans
Intervening and managing mental health emergencies as a first responder like Panic attacks, Suicide, Self-harm and Addictions
Identify the resources available in the local community
