Anyone can support a mate they care about
Our mental health courses will supercharge your knowledge of mental health problems and together we will develop a gameplan for you to have critical conversations to support the people you care about.
Most of us have someone in our life who is experiencing a mental health problem
You want to support them but you just don't know how
Are you ever lost or scared about the right thing to say when someone says they are anxious or depressed?
Thinking I don't know if I can say that...
Our course will stop you feeling powerless
Fortunately, you are already on the right track
You already have 3 of the 5 essential components of giving effective support. We just need to focus on the other 2
Gain confidence in your capability to support your family, friends, co-workers and community.
These are courses for everyone because anyone can make a difference in the lives of people they care about.

Brett Hardie
In the past, I led a team who were experiencing a range of mental health problems. Oftentimes, this would impact our work each day. I was so ill-equipped at the time to have productive conversations with them to both support them with their mental health problems, whilst also doing what was best for our team and our work. I didn’t know how to help the people around me. I was lost.
I have been there. Working as a teacher I felt I needed to do better for my kids. Through learning about mental health problems and responding to them appropriately and effectively I now am confident and capable of supporting my students, family, friends and community and I want you to be too.
Using Mental Health First Aid Australia’s evidence-based course framework, you will join me and over 1 million mental health first aiders across Australia.
