Had enough of statistics that mean nothing to you? Us too.
Here is what you should consider.
Is Mental Health First Aid right for you and your organisation?
Is it a tick box
exercise?- Quite simply, it shouldn’t be. MHFA in isolation or as a sole component of a mental health and wellbeing strategy may do more harm than good, to the MHFAiders and the people they are supporting.
- How will you support MHFAiders?
- Like any other skill, MHFA skills can deteriorate without ongoing practice and reinforcement, often impacting confidence. MHFAiders are also not indestructible. How will you continue to look out for them?
- How will you know it is effective?
- Without ongoing evaluation it is difficult to measure the impact of MHFA training and justify investment in future training. There are key metrics to consider which can go a long way to demonstrating efficacy.
Why are we different?
Yes we know everyone says that, but we truly believe we are. Here’s why..
We will not just run off after the trainingWe will sit down with you and work out the best strategy to implement a MHFA network, and embed it into business-as-usual.
Quarterly check in sessions with your MHFAidersA knowledge sharing process so that MHFAiders can learn from each other, learn from clinicians and discuss where they need further support.
Technology to keep a pulse on how they are doingAn Australian made peer support technology which alerts on when to check in with the MHFAider, and identifies training needs to help increase their confidence.
Doing things a little differently
Two service options, consistent support for supporters.
Because if it isn’t done safely, should it be done at all?
