About this Event
MHFA is a 12 hours internationally recognised and accredited course designed to give individuals the knowldege of common mental health problems and the ability to identify and assist someone who is developing a mental illness or is in a mental health crisis. MHFA teaches you how to respond to sufferers of anxiety, depression, psychosis and substance abuse with compassion, active listening, effective skills and structured action plans. Early detection and interverntion of mental health problems prevents conditions from worsening and developing into more serious mental health disorders. Mental Health First Aiders can help save lives.
The MHFA adult training course will be conducted in English and materials have been developed and reviewed by the Mental Health Association of Hong Kong. Each participant will receive a MHFA course manual and a Community Resources handbook. There is a video below from Australia where MHFA training originated, which explains the course in more detail.
The MHFA Training course will run over four sessions in November 2026 ; 21st November, 22nd November, 28th November and 29th November at 2pm-6pm (to allow for a break and questions). The cost of the ticket covers all 4 sessions.
We will provide snacks and refreshments during the break. It is recommended that participants arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of the course to settle in.
You will obtain a certificate after completion of the whole program which will make you a qualified 'Mental Health First Aider' (certification can only be awarded to participants who attend all 4 sessions) .
