Saturday 18th June, 2022  |  Sunday 19th June, 2022


This Youth Mental Health First Aid course is provided free of charge for East Gippsland and Wellington Shires to aid in Bushfire Recovery.

The 14-hour Youth Mental Health First Aid course teaches any adult (18 years and over) how to provide initial support to adolescents experiencing a mental health problem or crisis.

Learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems in young people, how to provide initial help, where and how to get professional help, what sort of help has been shown by research to be effective, and how to provide first aid in a crisis situation.

Both days need to be attended to gain accreditation.

The information provided in MHFA courses is for general mental health first aid only and is not intended to be and should not be relied upon as a substitute for specific professional medical advice.

This course is not a therapy or support group.

This course will be held over two days, 18th and 19th June, 9:30am to 5pm each day, at Paynesville Neighbourhood Centre, 55 Esplanade, Paynesville, and is free of charge.
