Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is exactly what you might think – a first aid approach to mental health. Originally founded and developed by Betty Kitchener and Professor Tony Jorm in Australia, MHFA has been successfully introduced around the world, in countries as widespread as Hong Kong, Singapore, Finland, Canada, USA and Scotland.

Mental health problems can affect people at any time of life in different ways. They affect not only individuals and their families, but friends, work colleagues and employers too. Many people suffer a mental illness for a long time before they seek help



The aims of MHFA are to:

Preserve life where a person may be a danger to themselves

Provide help to prevent the mental health problems developing into a more serious state

Promote recovery of good mental health

Provide comfort to a person experiencing mental ill health

Raise awareness of mental health issues in the community

Reduce stigma and discrimination

Participants on the MHFA course come from a wide range of backgrounds, from family members wanting to gain more understanding of what a relative is going through, to employers, and to people who are likely to come into contact with those at risk of mental health problems, such as police, ambulance staff, housing support workers or community workers.

Please note: As part of the course, we'll be covering subjects that some people may find sensitive, including suicide. Instructors are sensitive to participants needs and responses and can be spoken to if necessary at any point during the course.
