Create a more positive and supportive culture throughout your whole Club. Mental health first aid (MHFA) training is a programme that helps to educate people how to identify and assist someone who is suffering from a mental health or drug use condition.

The programme is intended to assist people in recognising early warning signs of mental health conditions, providing initial assistance and support to someone in difficulty, and helping to connect them to external professional support.
