Duration: 2 day
About 1 in 5 New Zealand adults experience challenges with mental health in any year. This means that at some stage, everyone will have close contact with someone experiencing mental health challenges, at home, in the workplace or the wider community.
This course provides learners with the skills to assist someone who is developing a mental health challenge or is in a mental health crisis.
The course covers the most common mental health challenges in New Zealand; depression, anxiety, psychosis, eating disorders, gambling harm and problematic substance use. The mental health crises covered include suicidal thoughts and behaviours, non-suicidal self-injury, panic attacks, traumatic events, psychosis, acute effects from substance use and aggressive behaviour.*
The interactive course content is practical and evidence-based adapted to be specifically relevant within the cultural context of New Zealand including workplace scenarios and guidelines for providing MHFA when someone identifies as Maori or Pasifika.
*Trigger warning: The content of this course may be emotionally challenging for some learners.
Anyone over 18 years of age who wants to gain increased confidence in their ability to offer Mental Health First Aid which enables early access to help.
