The Mental Health First Aid Refresher Course ensures that mental health first aiders and responders keep their skills fresh and maintain their confidence to perform their roles effectively.
We recently updated the topics covered in this course, shifting the focus from the impact of Covid-19 to the impact of personal situations and how to support someone effectively.
The course will use workplace case studies to outline how personal situations can impact individuals and the potential signs of someone experiencing mental ill health. The role of the employer and the mental health first aider will also be explored.
Knowledge update of Mental Health First Aid protocols
Knowledge update of recognizing poor mental health
Skills update on supporting someone with poor mental health
Knowledge update on managing individuals in crisis
Knowledge update on common mental health conditions
This course is open to anyone who has completed a mental health course previously (through any provider).
We recommend the Mental Health Workplace Skills Update course should be attended annually by anyone who has completed any variation of the 1 or 2-day Mental Health First Aid course within the last 3 years.
Those who have attended a 1 or 2-day Mental Health First Aid course more than 3 years ago should complete the full course again.
