Mental Health First Aid
Mental First Aid Training
Around 1 in 5 Australian adults experience a common mental health challenge each year. Completing a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course gives you the confidence and practical skills to support a friend, family member, colleague, or community member when they need it most.
MHFA is about knowing how to notice the early signs, how to start a supportive conversation, and how to respond calmly and effectively if someone is struggling or in crisis. These skills can make a meaningful difference! Often before professional support is in place.
The course teaches an evidence-based action plan to help people who are:
Developing a mental health challenge such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, substance use concerns, or eating disorders (youth course only)
Experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health condition
Going through a mental health crisis
You will learn how to provide support until appropriate professional help is accessed or the situation stabilises.
This course is not a vocational qualification.
Accreditation is provided by Mental Health First Aid Australia, ensuring the training meets national standards and best practice.
At NeuroNavigators, we see Mental Health First Aid as a powerful way to build safer, more connected, and more compassionate communities!
Where people feel supported, understood, and not alone.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training is backed by evidence-based research and is consistently linked to:
Reduced stigma, with more compassionate and informed attitudes toward mental illness.
Increased Knowledge of mental health challenges, treatment options, and appropriate first aid responses.
Increased support, including a greater willingness to check in, listen, and take action when someone needs help.
Greater confidence in supporting someone who may be struggling or experiencing a mental health crisis.
We offer flexible delivery options to make training accessible.

NeuroNavigators takes a strengths-based, neuro-affirming approach that recognises neurodiversity as an asset, not something that needs to be fixed. We focus on helping people understand how they think, communicate and navigate the world and how to build systems around them that actually work.
What sets us apart is our holistic approach. We support individuals, workplaces and communities, rather than working in isolation. This means practical support for everyday life, alongside education that helps others create more inclusive, supportive environments.
Our work is grounded in lived experience, real-world application and evidence-based practice. We prioritise practical strategies people can use straight away, from communication tools and self-advocacy skills to workplace adjustments and wellbeing supports.
Above all, NeuroNavigators is about connection, empowerment and clarity. We meet people where they are, help them make sense of their experiences, and support them to move forward with confidence.
