Mental Health First Aid Standard

MHFA Standard focuses on how to have supportive interactions when engaging with those experiencing a decline, crisis, or emergency with their mental health. Participants who take this course are well prepared to interact confidently about mental health with their family, friends, communities, and workplaces. We'll also explore how to support our own mental well-being while caring for others.

THE ALGES MODEL:

In the MHFA course, you will gain a solid understanding of the 5 basic actions of ALGES:

• Assess the risk of suicide and/or harm
• Listen non-judgmentally
• Give reassurance
• Encourage supports
• Self-care for the first aider

ALGES is the framework for having a conversation about mental health with family, friends, colleagues, and others.
