What will I learn in a Standard Mental Health First Aid course?

The course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals. It provides an overview of mental illnesses, risk factors, prevalence, and impact before taking a much closer look at the following mental health problems:

• Depression
• Psychosis
• Substance use problems
• Anxiety
• Bipolar

Why attend a Standard Mental Health First Aid course?

Evaluations consistently show that by attending a course, participants improve their knowledge of mental illnesses, their treatments and appropriate first aid strategies. Course participants also report improved confidence in providing mental health first aid to individuals and by improving mental health literacy, much of the stigma surrounding mental health problems is reduced.

Here's what some of our past participants have to say:

"Thank you Phillippa for a great day. You were warm and compassionate. Your heart for community and mental health really shines. We need more people like yourself in our communities. I loved every aspect of our day together, I felt comfortable and supported."

‘"Phillipa was an amazing instructor who brought a lot of experience to the course, and made the material highly engaging. I would recommend anyone doing YMHFA do it through her."
