What is the Standard Mental Health First Aid Refresher Course?
If you have done the MHFA course, then our standard Mental Health Refresher course is the course to do to update your skills and accreditation. Although it is not as long as the original course, it still takes 4 hours to bring you up to date with the latest developments in mental health. Because we forget things over time, there is a recap of some of the key areas covered in the standard MHFA course. Additionally, there are scenarios and role-playing with colleagues and instructors to reinforce what you know.
Course Content
Basically, the course is designed to update and renew the skills and knowledge learned in the standard MHFA course and includes the following:
- Overview of the latest research and developments in Mental Health
- 3 key actions that can help a person feeling suicidal
- Case studies, scenarios and teachings of real-life mental health interventions you may face
- Practise ALGEE and general Mental Health First Aid skills
