Mental health is part of every workplace. When a colleague, team member or manager is struggling, many people don't know what to say or where to turn.

Under current WHS legislation, managing staff mental health is a legal obligation, not an optional extra. MHFA training is a practical,

accredited way to meet it.

As a Certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor, Julie Vigor delivers accredited Mental Health First Aid training for individuals,

teams and organisations.

What is MHFA?

Mental Health First Aid is a nationally recognised, evidence-based training program. Participants learn to recognise signs of a mental health problem, provide appropriate initial support, and encourage professional

help when needed.

Under current WHS legislation, employers must identify and manage psychosocial risks such as high job demands and poor support, in the same way physical safety risks are managed. MHFA training builds genuine mental health literacy and early intervention capability within your team, and is a valuable part of meeting that responsibility, alongside your organisation's broader risk management approach.

“Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld) place a duty on the PCBU (person conducting a business or undertaking) to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health and safety of workers, with health explicitly defined to cover psychological health.”

Participants learn to

Recognise signs that someone may be experiencing a mental health problem

Approach and have a supportive conversation with someone who may be struggling

Listen without judgement and provide appropriate initial support

Recognise when professional or crisis support is needed

Connect someone with the right professional and community support

Build confidence responding to mental health concerns, at work and beyond

Bring MHFA to your workplace

Private training builds a network of trained Mental Health First Aiders across your team. Sessions can run at your workplace or a suitable Brisbane venue. Online sessions also available soon.

Whether you're strengthening your wellbeing strategy or meeting your WHS obligations, MHFA gives your people practical, real skills for early intervention.
