This is where Mental Health First Aid training can help.

Topic Covered

Mental Health First Aid training is a program that can empower communities by equipping people with the knowledge and confidence to recognise, connect and respond to someone experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis.

Anyone can have a conversation that may save a life. Everyone should know how.
