Welcome to Mental Health First Aid Australia
Each year 1 in 5 Australians will experience a mental illness. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Australia is an international not-for-profit organisation focused on mental health training and research. Our core work is to develop MHFA courses, and train Instructors to deliver these courses to their communities or workplaces. Our courses teach members of the public how to provide initial help to a person who is developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until appropriate professional help is received, or the crisis resolves.
