What is Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)?
Mental Health First Aid equips people with the skills to recognise early signs of mental distress and respond with confidence and care. It teaches practical, easy-to-use steps to support someone experiencing stress, anxiety, or other challenges. In workplaces and academic institutions, MHFA strengthens a culture of safety, empathy, and wellbeing. Participants learn how to listen without judgment, offer reassurance, and guide someone toward appropriate professional help. Grounded in trauma-informed approaches, MHFA promotes understanding, reduces stigma, and helps build supportive environments where everyone can thrive.
About the Global MHFA Program
Mental Health First Aid is a globally recognised program delivered in more than 29 countries around the world. It is based on evidence-based guidelines developed through international research and expert consensus, and aims to empower individuals everywhere with the skills to support mental health with compassion.
