Refresher courses are 6 hour, online courses that allow people who have previously completed a Standard Community or Workplace Mental Health First Aid course, to refresh their knowledge and skills.
Accredited as a Mental Health First Aider and looking to refresh your knowledge? The Mental Health First Aid Refresher Course is a great opportunity to extend your accreditation for another 3 years, so that you are equipped to help your community for longer.
Our professional MHFA Refresher Course is the perfect way to stay updated with the newest additions to the field of mental health without having to retake the whole course again. The training focuses only on evidence-based MHFA strategies, just like the MHFA & Youth MHFA courses.
You’ll learn the most up to date practices in providing Mental Health First Aid and receive an updated Mental Health First Aid manual and a certificate.
The course gives participants an opportunity to refresh the knowledge and skills learnt during your initial training. In the mental health space, we suggest a constant refresh of knowledge as significant changes can take place often, which can greatly impact the way you help others around you.
Our MHFA Refresher Course will help you:
- Gain an understanding of the latest research conducted in the mental health field
- Refresh your knowledge of which organisations are best to contact based on the specific demographics of individuals in need
- Learn what to do when someone is feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal – we focus on the 3 actions you can take in such scenarios
- Work through written examples of complex mental health first aid scenarios, and
- Practice your Mental Health First Aid skills in real-life-based situations
The Mental Health First Aid Refresher Course is a 6-hour course delivered online via a group video call. This means that you can take it conveniently from the location of your choice.
All our teaching staff are mental health professionals that hold multiple qualifications and are personally experienced with delivering Mental Health First Aid to someone in need. We specifically train all our teachers to ensure that the information you learn in our MHFA Refresher Course is based on quality knowledge and a high level of experience.
*Please note that the MHFA Refresher can only be completed if you have taken the MHFA Course or Youth MHFA course previously.
