Why you should complete your MHFA Refresher Course?

If you’ve already done a Mental Health First Aid course, Completing your MHFA Refresher program is a great idea!

What is a MHFA Refresher?

MHFA Refresher courses are 6-hour online courses. These courses are for people who have previously completed their initial training. This helps you to refresh your knowledge and skills.  And doing a refresher program also extends your Mental Health First Aid Accreditation for a further three years.

If you have completed one of our Mental Health First Aid courses, then this refresher is right for you. MHFA Australia constantly reviews the course material to ensure it reflects the best researched and updated practices currently being used in the field of Mental Health First Aid! Consequently, by doing a MHFA Refresher program you’re making sure that you have the most current knowledge available.

What you’ll learn

You’ll learn the most up to date practices in providing Mental Health First Aid. You’ll also receive an updated Mental Health First Aid manual.
