Mental Health First Aid
Be the change.
Around 1 in 5 Australian adults experience a common mental illness each year.
Understanding how to talk about mental health and help someone in need are important skills. Many people feel uncomfortable or unprepared to start a conversation with someone they are concerned about.At a Mental Health First Aid course, you will learn how to recognise the signs and symptoms of mental health problems and learn skills to feel confident and able to help with creative industry insights. Having mental health first aid skills means that you can assist someone developing or experiencing a mental health challenge or crisis and make a real difference to your community.
