MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID REFRESHER (ADULT)
Overview
If you are a Mental Health First Aider or MHFA Champion you have skills for life that support you and the people around you. 
Mental health should be treated equally to physical health – and just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid training should be kept up to date. 

​The 4 hour MHFA Refresher course will empower you to: 
  • Keep your awareness of mental health supports current
  • Update your knowledge of mental health and what influences it
