Designed for students attending TAFEs, Universities and other Tertiary Campuses the Blended Mental Health First Aid Course for Tertiary Students is a combination of online (eLearning) and a half day (4hrs) of follow-on face-to-face training. Using case-studies, videos and tailored resources the course teaches how to assist a peer or any adult who is developing a mental health problem or who may be in a mental health crisis.
Course participants first complete the interactive self-paced eLearning component that presents an overview of mental health problems and mental health crises.
The face-to-face component is designed to be delivered after participants have completed the eLearning component for Tertiary Students. The follow-on face-to-face training allows participants the opportunity to revise and consolidate skills in a group environment, and to address mental health problems in the workplace in more depth, providing participants with the opportunity to:
- Examine issues pertinent to mental health problems in the student population in more depth
- Clarify any points of uncertainty remaining after completion of the eLearning modules
- Apply the MHFA Action Plan to relevant scenarios
