First aid courses for physical emergency care are widespread in our society. But what about first aid for mental health?
"MHFA Ersthelfer" is the German version of the Australian Mental Health First Aid program. A Germany-wide network has been established since 2020.
Anyone can become an MHFA first aider, including you! MHFA first aiders learn a basic knowledge of various mental health problems and crises in a 12-hour course.
General conditions:
- Online format via zoom (You will receive the zoom link for the event shortly beforehand by email from the instructor.)
- Participation in the course is only possible with the approval of the supervisor.
- Participation takes place during working hours and is free of charge.
- There is no exemption from working hours for any subsequent implementation/use of the newly learned mental support skills.
- The MHFA course is completely independent of the existing physical first aid training, there is no obligation to complete both courses, both the MHFA course and the physical first aid training are voluntary and independent.
- The course consists of a total of 6 dates, these can NOT be booked individually. It is a coherent concept that can only be completed in full.
