Adults Supporting Other Adults
Mental Health First Aid® Australia offers a range of comprehensive skills based early-intervention courses. All our courses are based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and mental health professionals.
Our courses teach participants about the signs and symptoms of mental health literacy and teach the practical skills needed to support someone experiencing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves.
Mental Health First Aid training course participants also learn about the types of help and supports available and how to help someone access the support they need.
