Mental health concerns are now said to affect every Australian. Whether it’s through personal experience, friends, family or colleagues, we all know someone who is dealing with a mental illness. To help you manage strong, supportive teams, MiTraining offers Mental Health First Aid™ (MHFA) courses so you can confidently address mental health crises in the workplace.
"I recently completed the Mental Health First Aid course, and it was a truly eye-opening experience. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and created a supportive learning environment. The course content was comprehensive, covering various mental health topics and practical strategies for assistance. What stood out was the course's focus on destigmatising mental health issues, promoting open dialogue, and emphasising empathy. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to make a positive impact on the mental well-being of others. It's a valuable resource that equips you with the skills and knowledge to offer meaningful support." — Kimberley
