What is first aid for mental health?
First aid is the earliest care given to an injured or sick person and can be given during an emergency before medical help arrives.
First Aid for Mental Health offers techniques to help a person experiencing mental health issues including how to recognise, understand, support and respond. These are valuable skills to learn if you are a FIFO worker or involved in their care since they can be vulnerable to mental health issues due to the remote nature of their work.
