About this Event
Refresher courses allow people who have previously completed a 12 or 14 hour Mental Health First Aid course to refresh their knowledge and skills.
For people who are Accredited MHFAiders, refresher courses offer an opportunity to extend their accreditation for a further three years. For ongoing re-accreditation, the refresher can be undertaken from 6 months prior, up to the date of expiry of your current accreditation. If unsure of your eligibility for re-accreditation, you can check via your account on the MHFA Australia website or by emailing mhfa@mhfa.com.au.
Any adult who has completed a 12 or 14-hour MHFA course within the previous three years can also attend.
Participants will
• Gain an understanding of the latest research in the mental health field
• Learn the 3 key actions for helping someone feeling suicidal
• Work through complex mental health first aid interactions
• Practice mental health first aid skills.
