Mental Health First Aid for a Psychological Safe work environment.
Our focus is on delivering a human, person-centered approach to teach participants how to recognize the early signs of someone who may be experiencing a mental health challenge or crisis and have the confidence to approach and start a Mental Health conversation.
​
Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, course participants learn how to approach someone they are concerned about and initiate a conversation about those concerns. Participants also learn how to offer initial support and information and how to encourage the person to seek professional help or other supports.
​
Adults who complete the course become Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders), equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to provide someone with mental health information and support when it matters most.
Welcome to our community!
We're here to support you in creating mentally healthy work communities. Together, we can foster an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered. Let’s connect and make a positive impact on workplace well-being!

Michelle was patient, kind, and delivered the course content really well. We attended as a group and were all very grateful for her approach, particularly with such heavy content. Our booking process was easy and straightforward, a great experience all around. Thank you so much!
These are great courses and expertly run by Workplace Mental First Aid. I've done two of them now; two of the best courses I have undertaken in my entire corporate career spanning nearly 40 years. If you have a genuine interest in the mental health and well-being of fellow humans, these course are a great place to start.
We had a small but diverse group of people, including people of different ethnic backgrounds, neurodivergent people, and people who identified as LBTIQA+. The facilitator did a great job creating a safe space to learn
