Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training
Monash offers a two-day MHFA training workshop to equip you with resources to help someone developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis until professional help is available.
This workshop helps participants learn how to:
- help people in the early stages of mental health problems
- recognise the signs and symptoms of these problems
- know where and how to get help
- understand what types of help are effective.
This course is not a therapy or support group – the sessions focus on education and skill development. Due to the nature of the content covered, it's important that you're feeling relatively robust when you attend.
