The four-hour Mental Health First Aid for the Suicidal Person course created by Mental Health First Aid Australia equips individuals with skills on how to identify signs for suicide, confidentially support a person in crisis and develops skills and knowledge to safely have a conversation with a suicidal person. It provides a stand-alone course that complements the 12-hour Standard MHFA course, Blended MHFA Courses and the 14-hour Youth MHFA course.
