This program is designed for staff wanting to gain the skills and confidence to recognise and provide initial level assistance to others experiencing a mental health issue or crisis until the appropriate professional help is received or crisis resolves.

On successful completion of this course, you will be a nationally Accredited Mental Health First Aider for 3 years, including if you wish to be public identified at ACU as a Mental Health First Aider for other staff.
