Empowering Your Team With Mental Health First Aid Training
In today’s fast-paced world, mental health challenges are more common than ever. At The Wellbeing Affect, we believe that equipping your team with the skills to recognise, respond to, and support mental health issues is essential for fostering a thriving and resilient workplace or community. Our Accredited Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training programs are designed to provide practical, evidence-based skills that make a real difference.
Why Mental Health First Aid Matters
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is essential for creating supportive environments in workplaces, schools, and universities. By equipping individuals with the skills to recognise and respond to mental health issues early, MHFA fosters a culture of openness and empathy. In a world where mental health challenges are increasingly common, MHFA helps build communities where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported.

Proactive Support Saves Lives
Mental Health First Aid training equips participants with the ability to recognise the early signs of mental health issues, understand how to offer initial help, and guide someone towards the appropriate support services. By empowering your team with these skills, you’re creating an environment where mental health is prioritised, and individuals feel supported and safe.

Create a Resilient Environment
A mentally healthy environment is key to success, whether in workplaces, schools, or universities. MHFA training helps reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues, promotes open dialogue, and enhances the overall wellbeing of your community. When students, staff, and employees feel supported, they are more engaged, motivated, and productive.

Tailored Training for Your Needs
At The Wellbeing Affect, we understand that every organisation, school, and university is unique. That’s why we offer tailored MHFA training programs that address the specific needs of your workplace, educational institution, or community. Whether you’re looking to train a small group or your entire organisation, we have a solution that fits.
“Mental Health First Aid is as vital as traditional first aid—both provide the immediate support needed to help individuals through critical moments.“

Our MHFA Training Programs
Workplace Mental Health First Aid
Tailored for all workplaces, this specialised course focuses on creating mentally healthy workplaces by providing employees with the necessary skills, knowledge and confidence to step forward and have supportive conversations with people they are concerned about. It is essential that positive mental health practices are modelled and a culture of empathy and psychological safety are set.
Standard Mental Health First Aid
Our Standard MHFA course is ideal for workplaces and communities. This comprehensive program teaches participants how to assist adults who are experiencing a mental health crisis or developing a mental health problem. The course covers anxiety, depression, psychosis, substance use issues, and more.
Youth Mental Health First Aid
Youth MHFA is designed specifically for adults who work or live with young people. This course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to assist adolescents who are experiencing mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and substance use problems.
Tertiary
Our Tertiary Mental Health First Aid training is designed to equip students in higher education environments with the skills and knowledge to identify, understand, and respond to mental health issues among students, staff, and the broader academic community. This specialised training is vital in fostering a supportive campus culture, where mental health is prioritised and stigma is reduced. Tertiary MHFA empowers participants to provide initial help to those experiencing mental health challenges, connect them with appropriate resources, and promote a proactive approach to mental wellbeing in often high-pressure, high-stress academic settings.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Refresher (Standard and Youth)
Our MHFA Refresher training offers your existing MHFA team—whether Workplace, Youth, or Standard accredited—the chance to revisit, refresh, and strengthen the knowledge and skills gained in their initial MHFA course. Participants will engage in discussions and practical activities tailored to your workplace context, exploring available resources, support systems, and how they’ve applied their accreditation over the past three years. Upon completion, attendees will have the option to renew their MHFA accreditation for an additional three years, ensuring they remain confident and up-to-date in supporting mental health in the workplace.
