Why Choose Mental Health First Aid?

Today, as many as 2 in 5 young adults will experience a common mental illness in any given year. We know that if a young person does experience a mental illness, they are more likely to experience episodes later in life.

We also know that young people often turn to each other first when they are stressed or upset, so it’s important that they have the skills to provide support and help when this happens.

Choose from a range of evidence-based courses to empower and mobilise young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make a difference in the lives of their friends and peers.
