Mental Health First Aid Course Offer

AN AMAZING OFFER FROM ROTARY! LEARN HOW TO IDENTIFY AND SUPPORT THOSE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES! Moreland Rotary is committed to Mental Health awareness, support and activities in our community and we would like to give you an opportunity to register for a Mental Health First Aid course. This would normally retail for $363, and we are offering our Merri-bek community this course for $50, until places are booked out. Most people are familiar with the idea of physical first aid courses that teach the skills and knowledge required to recognise and respond to life-threatening emergencies and provide a first aid response across a range of different situations. Mental Health First Aid training adopts a similar approach. Using a practical, skills-based action plan, participants learn the skills to recognise and respond to someone experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis, until professional help is received or the crisis resolves. Individuals who complete Mental Health First Aid training are known as MHFAiders. Equipped with the skills to listen, connect, and offer support when it matters most, MHFAiders play a vital role in reducing stigma and promoting pathways to support for those experiencing mental health problems in our workplaces, communities, schools, and tertiary institutions.
