SUMMARY:Mental Health First Aid Course (online)
DESCRIPTION:What is Mental Health First Aid?\n\nMental Health First Aid (MH
 FA) is a global, innovative program developed in line with the successful c
 oncept of physical first aid. The course is an offer for layperson-based ea
 rly detection and intervention. Specifically, laypersons are trained by ins
 tructors (professionals in the field of mental health) to recognise mental 
 disorders of close persons and react adequately until appropriate professio
 nal help is received. The first aid course improves knowledge about mental 
 health, reduces stigmatising behaviour, enhances first aid confidence and b
 enefits the first aiders’ mental health. Our courses have been developed by
  professional experts in co-operation with affected people and cover a wide
  variety of mental health problems and crises.Since its founding in Austral
 ia in 2000 it has been constantly evaluated by scientific research methods.
  In the meantime, MHFA has actively spread to more than 40 countries worldw
 ide and has been honoured with a range of international awards, amongst oth
 ers, in Australia, Germany, England and the USA.\n\nContent and Structure\n
 \nParticipants acquire basic knowledge about different mental disorders and
  crises and learn how to deliberately support and inform persons affected b
 y mental health problems. An important part of the courses is to train how 
 those affected can be encouraged to find appropriate professional help and 
 how to reactivate resources. The focus in our courses is on depression, sui
 cidal thoughts/behaviour, anxiety disorders, psychosis, substance abuse and
  addiction.The course comprises 6 sessions of 2 hours each, so a total of 1
 2 hours. Active participation in all sessions is required.After participati
 ng in all modules, you are eligible to pass an online exam to become an acc
 redited mental health first aider.\n\nCourse Sessions\n\nWed, 14 Oct 2026,
