We are passionate about mental health crisis prevention in New Zealand. Our goal is to have a trained and certified Mental Health First Aider in every organisation and household across New Zealand by 2030.

What is Mental Health First Aid?
MHFA is the help given to an individual in the early stages of or developing a mental health issue such as depression, anxiety, or substance misuse. MHFA also teaches techniques for initial responder care for those in a mental health crisis including panic attacks, chronic anxiety, predisposition to self-injury and aggressive behaviour. MHFA is given until professional treatment is received or until the crisis resolves.

Who is this course for?
Anyone who wants to learn how to recognise warning signs of mental ill health, and develop the skills and confidence to approach and support a friend, family member or co-worker while keeping yourself safe.

You’ll learn how to empower someone to access the support they might need for recovery or successful management of symptoms.

This course trains you as a Mental Health First Aider. You will gain:

• An in-depth understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect wellbeing
  
  
• Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues
  
  
• Confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress
  
  
• Enhanced interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening

How does the online learning work?
The online learning course enable participants to complete the first half of the course via individual online e-learning in their own time. There are 5 modules that must be completed prior to the zoom sessions. A completion certificate can be downloaded once all 5 modules are done, this confirms participants are ready to attend the two zoom sessions. On completion of the two zoom sessions, participants log back into the portal where they can complete a short quiz and download their personalised accreditation certificate (valid for 3 years)

What do other's say?
"The MHFA course through HumanEx was incredibly valuable and well run - while much of the content was familiar to me due to prior study, it was taught in a practical way that allowed me to put the theory into practice. I highly recommend this course if you want to feel better equipped to support those around you through tough times".
