Youth Mental Health First Aid Refresher - Canterbury

Youth Mental Health First Aid Refresher - Canterbury
This refresher course is a 4 hour face-to-face course that allows people who have previously completed a 14 hour Youth Mental Health First Aid course to refresh their knowledge and skills. For people who are Accredited MHFAiders, the refresher courses offer an opportunity to extend their accreditation for a further 3 years – similar to the re-Accreditation process for a physical First Aid Certificate.

This course is not appropriate for people who have never attended a Youth Mental Health First Aid course. It is designed for those who have already completed the full course, and are due for a refresher.

The content of each refresher course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.

This course gives participants an opportunity to refresh the knowledge and skills learnt during the 14 hour Youth Mental Health First Aid Course. You will:

- Gain an understanding of the latest research in the mental health field
- Learn the 3 key actions for helping someone feeling suicidal
- Work through complex mental health first aid interactions
- Practice mental health first aid skills

A grant from the Victorian State Government is subsidising this course for Girl Guides Victoria volunteers. These courses are therefore being offered to members of Girl Guides Victoria ‘at cost’, with a view to being as accessible as possible. Your $30 registration fee includes a full-colour handbook.

Morning tea will be provided.

Places are limited. Register today to avoid disappointment.
