Workshop info:
Just as we learn physical first aid to respond to injuries, Mental Health First Aid equips you to recognise and respond when someone is struggling emotionally. This practical, interactive 3-hour course offers essential skills to identify early signs of stress, anxiety, depression, or crisis — and to offer calm, confident support until professional help is available.
You’ll learn how to listen without judgment, communicate effectively and take care of your own wellbeing while helping others. The session includes real-life examples, reflection tools and easy-to-apply techniques for everyday situations at home, work, or in the community. Whether you’re a friend, parent, colleague, or caregiver, this course empowers you to make a real difference.
