Mental Health First Aid® (MHFA) Australia is a national non profit organisation focused on training and research first developed in 2001 by Betty Kitchener AM and Professor Tony Jorm. MHFA courses teach mental health first aid strategies to members of the public. Mental health first aid is the help provided to a person who is developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of a mental health problem, or in a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves. For further information visit mhfa.com.au
