Mental Health First Aid Australia Training delivered by Avivo
We believe mental health is just as important as physical health. While you can’t always see when someone is struggling, we know how vital it is to be ready to support each other. It’s all about creating a workplace where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued – because mental health is something we take seriously, every day.
Avivo has accredited, in-house Mental Health First Aid Australia instructors who can deliver training to your organisation. We’ll come to you, or you can come to us, for the two-day intensive course with up to 26 participants. Cost varies depending on size, needs and location of group.
The Standard Mental Health First Aid® course teaches participants how to provide initial support to another adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis until professional help is received or the crisis is resolved.
Course participants will learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems in adults, how to recognise and respond to an emerging or worsening mental health problem and the treatments and supports available.
Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, course participants will learn how to approach someone they are concerned about and initiate a conversation about those concerns.
Adults who complete the course become Mental Health First Aiders® (MHFAiders), equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to provide someone with mental health information and support when it matters most.
This course is recognised by Suicide Prevention Australia as a safe, high-quality, and effective suicide prevention program.
You can find out more information about the course at the Mental Health First Aid® Australia website.
