Mental Health First Aid Training ‍ ‍ adults supporting young people

Sometimes it's difficult to know whether a young person is going through a normal developmental phase or showing signs of something that needs early support. Mental Health First Aid training gives you the skills and confidence to recognise when to step in — and how.

This training is designed for adults who support young people: parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, and carers. You'll learn to identify early warning signs, offer appropriate first-response support, and connect young people with the right help.

The training is grounded in leading national and international research and proven practice, ensuring up-to-date, evidence-based skills for supporting youth mental health. This course is recognised by Suicide Prevention Australia as a safe, high-quality and effective suicide prevention program.

The training has four modules that are presented over two days face-to-face, or in different combinations including online to accommodate participants.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, and anyone who regularly interacts with young people and wants to be better equipped to notice and respond to mental health concerns early.

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN

Confidence to recognise early signs of mental health difficulties, practical skills for first-response support, and the knowledge to guide young people toward appropriate professional help.
