Public MHFA Refresher

Description

The course is a four hour refresher session for those who have completed the Mental Health First Aid two or one day course. Just like physical first aid, we recommend you refresh your skills regularly and keep up-to-date.

The four-hour MHFA Refresher course will support MHFAiders® by: 

• Renewing their skills 
• Updating their knowledge of mental health supports 
• Giving them the chance to practice applying the Mental Health First Aid action plan 
• Providing them access to three years of MHFAider® support and benefits

Format

• This is a half day course delivered online  
• Learning takes place through a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities
• We limit numbers to 25 people per course so that the instructor can keep people safe and supported while they learn

With access to MHFAider® support and benefits, training doesn't stop when the course comes to an end. We provide continuous support for MHFAiders® – well beyond initial certification – so they are confident, empowered and motivated to carry out their role.
