Approximately 9-hour course (eLearning and Instructor led components) is suitable for adults and provides information to Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander communities about mental health first aid and self-care; available via blended face to face and online delivery modes.
The course is aimed towards general community level information and is designed as an opportunity to understand mental health problems in our communities and learn some general skills to support ourselves and others. As such, the course does not assume any existing mental health knowledge, and does not provide clinical information about mental health conditions or require completion of assessments. The course contains comprehensive visual and spoken content to support delivery accessibility.
The course is open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous adults, and is only delivered by Accredited Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander AMHFA Instructors.
