Standard Mental
Health First Aid for Legal Professionals

This course equip adults with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to recognise, understand and respond to a co-worker, client, or another adult, experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis.

Course participants learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems in adults, how to recognise and respond to an emerging or worsening mental health problem, and the treatments and supports available.

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.

Participants who complete this course will become Mental Health First Aiders as they will be equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to offer information and support when it matters most.
