First Aid Pro is proud to announce their addition of the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course to its extensive Adelaide range of accredited, practical, and hands-on training programs.

Over the past few years, there has been a significant rise in awareness about mental health issues and their profound impact on individuals and workplaces. The COVID-19 pandemic further underscored the need for mental health support, with many people experiencing heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. In response to this growing recognition of the importance of mental health in the community, First Aid Pro has implemented the MHFA training program.
First Aid Pro Meets Training Needs In Their Adelaide Centres
First Aid Pro strives to deliver high-quality first aid training that meets the diverse needs of its participants. The organisation is committed to empowering individuals with the skills and knowledge required to effectively respond to both physical and mental health emergencies. By offering a wide range of nationally accredited courses, including traditional first aid and the newly introduced Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training, First Aid Pro aims to enhance the overall well-being of communities.
The MHFA course, endorsed by Mental Health First Aid Australia, is conducted by certified course facilitators from First Aid Pro. According to research by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, as much as 45% of the local population will deal with mental health issues at some point in their lives. This course aims to equip participants with the knowledge to identify signs of mental health challenges, understand available therapeutic options, and provide effective initial aid during a crisis.
Specifically, the MHFA training includes:
- Understanding how to identify signs of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, and substance abuse.
- Learning how to provide initial support for mental health crises, including suicidal thoughts and behaviours, self-harm, panic attacks, traumatic events, severe effects of drugs or alcohol, severe psychotic states, and aggressive behaviours.
- Gaining insights into professional assistance and available treatments.
First Aid Pro’s MHFA course is delivered face-to-face over 12 hours, typically spread across two days. This format ensures a comprehensive learning experience, allowing participants to fully engage with the material and practice their skills in a supportive environment. The course also provides a valuable Mental Health First Aid Manual for participants to keep as a reference after completing the training.
The new MHFA course is particularly beneficial for those overseeing team members and individuals employed in governmental, social service, and health-related sectors. For managers, this training is crucial in identifying symptoms of depression and anxiety within their staff, facilitating timely intervention before the conditions worsen. It also serves individuals looking to support friends, family members, or colleagues who may be experiencing mental health challenges.
Sharon McCulloch, CEO and Owner of First Aid Pro, highlighted the importance of this new offering: "By incorporating the MHFA course, we aim to provide our participants with a holistic approach to first aid, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle both physical and mental health emergencies. This addition aligns with our mission to offer comprehensive and relevant training that meets the evolving needs of our community and supports overall well-being."
