Mental Health First Aider Support

What comes next after earning a Mental Health First Aid Certificate? Numerous discussions with Mental Health First Aiders revealed a shared desire for a support system that provides human interaction for navigating challenging conversations and accessing resources to assist those engaged in Mental Health Conversations at work, in communities, and at home. This is the motivation behind creating a Mental Health First Aid Community hub for MHFAiders in Australia.

At WPMHFA, we provide ongoing support through access to our Mental Health First Aider community hub and further training and awareness via skill enhancement courses and program memberships. We welcome all accredited MHFAiders into our community hub, aiming to establish a network of mental health first aiders capable of aiding those in need while promoting health awareness and resilience within our communities.

Our MHFAider Slack community offers a platform to connect with other MHFAiders, share resources and ask for direction when facing difficult Mental Health First Aid conversations. The community is managed by the founders of Our Minds at Work who are growing with the community to provide an up-to-date directory for mental health resources and upskill information in line with Australian standards.

We are thrilled to share that our new members' website and app are currently being developed. We aim to elevate our support for the community and give back as they contribute much of their time to the workplace and communities by being recognised Mental Health First Aiders.
