Note: For all red risk level events, Senior Event Managers / Event Coordinators must be trained in Mental Health First Aid. Unfortunately the completion of Better Friends training will not be accepted for red level events.
This course helps to mobilise and empower students equipping them with the knowledge, skills and confidence to recognise, understand and respond to a fellow student who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis. Participants will gain skills in recognising common mental health problems, develop knowledge of possible causes and learn how to provide initial support to those in need until professional help is received or the crisis is resolved.
