Synopsis

Do you know someone with a mental health concern? Do you know someone who has ever encountered a mental health crisis?

This 12-hour course is designed to improve your mental health literacy and give you skills to help others who may be developing a mental health concern or may be facing a mental health crisis situation. MHFA was developed by Betty Kitchener and Professor Tony Jorm in Australia, and is under the auspices of the ORYGENR Research Centre at the University of Melbourne.

Objectives:

1. To improve your mental health literacy;
   
2. To learn the symptoms, causes, and evidence-based treatments for common mental health problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis, and substance use disorder; and
3. To learn skills in providing initial support for someone with a mental health problem.

Audience:

Targeted at students who do not have any educational background in abnormal/clinical psychology. Priority is given for students who indicate that they are in a position of leadership, and who are interested in supporting other students.
