About 1 in 5 New Zealand adults experience challenges with mental health in any given year.
This means that all members of our community can expect to have close contact with someone experiencing mental health challenges at some time. For this reason, the Mental Health First Aid Aotearoa (MHFA) course is relevant and beneficial to everyone. Evaluations consistently show that (MHFA) training improves understanding of the mental health challenges people experience, their options for treatment and helpful first aid strategies. Participants report increased confidence in their ability to offer Mental Health First Aid which enables early access to help. The training also decreases stigma and discrimination that many people with mental health and addiction challenges experience.
