The Standard Mental Health First Aid course equips participants to provide initial support to adults experiencing mental health issues or crises until professional help is available. Participants learn to recognize signs and symptoms of common mental health problems, respond to crises, and understand available treatments.

Using an evidence-based action plan, they learn how to approach and converse with those in distress, offer initial support, and encourage seeking professional help. Upon completion, participants become Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders), ready to reduce stigma and promote mental health support in various settings. A short assessment at the end of the course leads to Accreditation as an MHFAider, valid for 3 years.
