1 in 5 Australians will experience a mental health problem in their lifetime. Every person is likely to know someone who is experiencing a mental health problem, whether that is a family member, a friend or colleague. Mental illness is now said to affect every Australian either directly or indirectly. This demonstrates the need for community care models that empower individuals where they live, work and play. This is where Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training courses can help, and UC Medical & Counselling are offering UC Students the opportunity to complete MHFA training. MHFA training helps mobilise and empower adults by equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to recognise, understand and respond to another adult experiencing a mental health problem, and assist until appropriate professional help is received, using a practical, evidence-based action plan. MHFA training is presented as a blended course: a self-paced e-learning component, followed by a face-to-face session led by a Licensed MHFA Instructor.
