This course has a ‘first responder’ focus, and is suitable for people who want to understand mental health challenges and learn how to offer support. A first responder is associated with professional individuals who have specialist training in emergencies. However, the first responder is often a bystander (someone like you and me), on an emergency scene, providing the very first few minutes of support.

This Nationally recognised course is uniquely tailored to provide comprehensive education on mental health, fostering resilience and offering practical strategies for managing the mental health impacts of crisis response. You will learn to recognise signs and symptoms of mental health concerns and respond effectively, providing crucial support until professional help is available.
