Question
First Aid in Mental Health
✓
Answer
Mental Health First Aid ( MHFA) is an internationally recognised training programme designed to teach people how to identify the signs and symptoms of mental health and provide assistance on a first aid basis.
The MHFA course was originally developed by Betty Kitchener, a registered nurse specialising in mental health education, and Anthony Jorm a professor of psychology in Australia.
First aid in mental health is a concept that is based on the idea of “prevention is better than cure”.
Mental illness usually does not develop ‘out of the blue’. Often there are small or subtle changes where the individual feels like something is not right.
People around them might also notice a change in their thinking, feelings or behaviours. If these early signs are recognised, they can be helped.
