Internationally Recognised Training
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognised training course which teaches people how to spot the signs and symptoms of ill mental health and provide help on a first aid basis.
The MHFA course won’t teach you to be a therapist, but just like physical first aid, it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis. It will give you the practical skills and awareness to deliver Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace, and beyond.
The Oakridge Centre offer a two-day MHFA course by our accredited associate instructor
