  • As a Licensed Instructor, I deliver the Standard Mental Health First Aid course.

    The course uses a practical, evidence-based action plan to teach participants how to recognise signs and symptoms of common mental health problems, initiate supportive conversations, and encourage help-seeking.

    Participants become certified Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders) equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to provide mental health support when it matters most.

    This training is available face-to-face for workplace or community groups. Let me know your group size, type and location and I can provide a quote.

I also provide flexible support, including event coordination, MC services, grant writing support, mentoring and coaching, plus tailored solutions for unique organisational needs.
