F.A.Q.
As a participant, do I need to have any skills or training before taking MHFA?
You do not need any skills or training before taking the course. It
teaches participants to recognize the signs that a person may be
experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or mental health
crisis and how to provide initial help and guide the person to
appropriate professional resources. The course is designed to be
accessible and helpful for everyone, regardless of their background.
What do Mental Health First Aid Participants learn?
The MHFA course teaches people how to:
- recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health problems; provide initial help; and guide a person toward appropriate professional help.
- learn a single action plan that includes assessing risk, respectfully listening to and supporting the individual in crisis, and identifying appropriate professional help and other supports that can be applied in many situations.
- Introduction to risk factors and warning signs for mental health problems.
What types of crisis intervention are covered?
Participants are taught how to provide effective crisis intervention in a variety of situations:
- Panic attack
- Suicidal behaviour
- Substance overdose
- Acute stress reaction
- Psychotic episode
What practical experience will I get?
An important component of Mental Health First Aid training is the opportunity to practice the intervention strategy rather than to just learn about it. This simple experience can make it easier to apply the knowledge in a real-life situation.
In addition to crisis interventions, participants learn how to have
confident and effective conversations about mental health, regardless of whether someone is in crisis or not. This includes recognizing the signs and symptoms of declining mental well-being or noticing a change in someone’s behaviour and starting a conversation with that person.
