Almost half of the adults in the Netherlands will experience mental complaints at some point in their lives. That includes the people around you. Therefore it is crucial for people to follow the Standard Mental Health First Aid course. You will learn to recognize the signals of mental complaints and how to support these people experiencing such problems.
With the MHFA course you will:
– increase your knowledge about mental disorders and learn to recognize signals of mental complaints.

– learn how to act if someone is in (a state of) crisis.

– become more aware of stigma and prejudices surrounding mental illness and the effects of such.
This course consists of 12 lessons divided over two full-days. You will receive access to the digital MHFA handbook, to the e-learning, the final test and the certificate. Have you attended all meetings and passed the test? Then you are officially; First Responder MHFA.
