Would you know how to assist a co-worker who was experiencing a mental health problem?

In Australia, 1 in 5 people will experience mental illness in any given year. Lawyers suffer from higher rates of depression, anxiety, substance use problems and stress than the general population.

In this Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course, you will learn techniques to:

- Understand how mental health problems, like depression, anxiety, psychosis, substance use problems, and eating disorders, are developed
- Detect and differentiate mental health crises, such as suicidal thoughts and behaviours, non-suicidal self-injury, traumatic events, and panic attacks, among others
- Understand risk factors and appropriate evidence-based treatments and supports
- Learn how to respond and offer appropriate support to employees and co-workers using the MHFA Action Plan ALGEE
- The key to better mental health outcomes is early recognition of issues and a safe and supportive workplace.

This is Mental Health First Aid Australia approved course. The eLearning component is completed with Mental Health First Aid Australia.

The eLearning component of this course is supported by legalsuper.
