“The delivery was great, no uncomfortable role-playing or forced participation really made it a lot easier to be a part of.”

What is MHFA?

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a training program designed to teach people how to recognise, understand, and respond to signs of mental health challenges. It’s similar to traditional first aid, but focuses on mental health crises and concerns.

What are the benefits of MHFA?

MHFA provides practical support to employees who may be developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening condition, or facing a mental health crisis.

Our training helps workplaces:

  • Recognise and support individuals with mental health concerns
  • Connect employees to professional help
  • Meet new work health and safety requirements
  • Achieve recognition as a MHFA Skilled Workplace

Who runs the MHFA courses?

SHM courses are led by MHFA Accredited Instructors and are transport industry-focused. Thanks to our key sponsors, all courses are subsidised.
