While we all have physical health, everyone also has mental health. Just like our physical health, our mental health can deteriorate. Mental ill health can occur at any time and does not discriminate in who it affects.
While society’s understanding of mental health continues to improve, many of us still don’t know how to look after our mental health like we would our physical health. Unfortunately, misunderstandings and stigma surrounding mental health also still exist.
This means that many people don’t know where to turn to find support with their own mental health, or how to assist a loved one or colleague who is experiencing mental ill health.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) courses teach you how to understand, identify and assist someone who may be experiencing an issue with their mental health.
We’re an innovative mental health organisation, navigating individuals and organisations to better mental health through counselling, journalism, signposting and Mental Health First Aid Training.
