More and more workplaces are realising the impact of mental health problems at work, both on their people and workplace productivity. Encouraging early help-seeking is one way to promote a mentally healthy workplace. This is where Mental Health First Aid® can help.
Mental Health First Aid® is an evidence -based training course which gives your employees the skills and confidence to have supportive conversations with co-workers and help guide them to professional help if needed. This course is based on the guidelines developed through feedback from professionals, and the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems.
Since it began in 2000, Mental Health First Aid® Australia has been committed to evaluating its training programs using rigorous, scientific studies. These evaluations consistently show that MHFA training is associated with improved knowledge of mental illnesses and their treatments, knowledge of appropriate first aid strategies, and confidence in providing first aid to individuals with mental illness, benefits which are maintained over time. Some studies have also shown improved mental health in those who attend the training, decreases in stigmatising attitudes and increases in the amount and type of support provided to others.
We also run this training privately for employers. We run the blended online course over one day with an extended break. Alternatively, we run the full Standard Mental Health First Aid® Course over two full days face to face. Please contact us for more information.
