Mental Health First Aid Training - April 2011

While people often know a lot about common physical health problems, there is widespread ignorance of mental health problems. This ignorance adds to stigmatising attitudes and prevents people from seeking help early and seeking the best sort of help. It also prevents people providing appropriate support to colleagues and family members, simply because they do not know how.

In order to help people provide initial support for someone with a mental health problem, a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training course has been developed.

Mental Health Carers ARAFMI NSW will be conducting this valuable course in Sydney in April 2011.

Read here for more information.

This 12-hour course is designed to give members of the public some skills to help identify and assist someone developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis situation. The course will be delivered by an accredited and experienced Mental Health First Aid instructor.

 Location: Suit 501  Level 5  80  William Street, East Sydney 2011

 Time: Day 1-  21st of April Thursday 9:30am—4:30 pm. ( 2 sessions + Morning tea and Luncheon)
