Meekatharra Aboriginal Mental Health First Aid Training

In any one year, approximately 1 in 5 Australians aged 16-85 have a common mental
illness. Evidence suggests that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience
this at a higher rate.
Mental Health First Aid training will teach you practical skills to support a person with
a mental health problem. Make a real difference to the people in your community.

LEARN PRACTICAL FIRST AID SKILLS
• Recognise common mental health
problems affecting Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander people
• Provide initial support using a practical,
evidence-based Action Plan
• Seek appropriate professional support
• Respond in a crisis situation
This is a 14-hour educational course,
not a therapy or support group.
