Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid accreditation is a nationally-recognised qualification. Developed in Australia and now being delivered around the globe in over 20 countries, Mental Health First Aid accreditation gives people the skills and confidence to support people around them who are developing a mental illness or experiencing a crisis.

2-day face-to-face format, 14 hours in total.
Blended/online delivery, where participants undertake 6-8 hours of self-paced e-learning followed by two 2.5-hour video-conference sessions with an instructor.
Blended/face-to-face delivery, where participants undertake 6-8 hours of self-paced e-learning followed by one 4-hour face-to-face session with an instructor.
