What can my team and I expect from this accreditation?
This program will allow the opportunity for every participant to practice new skills in a safe environment and apply the key learning points.
Evaluations consistently show that MHFA training is associated with improved knowledge of mental illnesses, their treatments and appropriate first aid strategies, and confidence in providing first aid to individuals with mental illness. It is also associated with decreased stigma and an increase in help provided over time
Am I eligible?
Any interested adult can attend.
It’s also important to know that there is no prerequisite level of study or work to attend, just as there is no restriction on attending a traditional physical first aid course.
With that in mind, please don't consider this course to be a therapy or support group session. This is an education course, to learn how to give first aid to others, and is not a therapy or support group.
Accreditation & CPD Points
On completion of this course, many professionals may be able to claim attendance towards Continuing Professional Development (CPD) within their industry body. Please check with your relevant industry body or BLLC if you are unsure of allocation points.
