The Standard Mental Health First Aid course teaches participants how to provide initial support to another adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis, until professional help is received or the crisis resolves.
Course participants learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems in adults, how to recognise and respond to an emerging or worsening mental health problem and the treatments and supports available.

- depression
- anxiety
- psychosis
- substance use problems
- suicidal thoughts and behaviours
- panic attacks
- non suicidal self-injury
