NTPHN invites people working in the East Arnhem health workforce to attend the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mental Health First Aid course. NTPHN have sponsored 24 places. In this 14 hours workshop you will learn how to assist an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves, using a practical, evidence based action plan.

This course is based on evidence from the expert consensus of Aboriginal mental health professionals, many of whom also have lived experience of mental health problems.
