Mental Health First Aid instructor training – Course sponsorship

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training ensures that the skills to assist people with mental health problems are spread beyond mental health professionals, and contribute towards improved support, early detection and treatment of mental health problems while reducing stigma attached to mental illness.

Having qualified MHFA instructors delivering programs in our community ensures that we are teaching people the first aid skills needed to support people with mental health problems.

The Loddon Healthy Minds Network is providing up to $5,000 sponsorship for one Loddon resident to undertake the standard Mental Health First Aid Instructor training course.
