Take this opportunity to learn and become certified in supporting people in our community around their mental health needs and wellbeing.

Learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health challenges, how to recognise and respond to an emerging or worsening mental health challenge, and the treatments and supports available to people in your area and online.
Spots limited! Registration required. Attendance on both days is required for course qualification.
This 2-day course is suitable for people over 18, community members and service workers. Meals and refreshments will be provided for both days.
