Free Mental Health First Aid Course Fri 22 & 29 May 2026
Posted on 30 April, 2026 by Hadley Cole
As part of our Drought Resilience Project, Connecting Country is offering the Mental Health First Aid Course for Landcare and community members at no cost. The course runs across two full days, Friday 22 May and Friday 29 May from 9.30am – 4.30pm at the Uniting Church in Castlemaine.
This course is a great opportunity for Landcare and community members to develop skills in providing initial support for another adult experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis until appropriate professional support is provided or the crisis is resolved.
As we have seen in various climate disaster events over the years and most recently in response to the January 9 fires, Landcare and grass roots community organisations are often called upon to help coordinate and support community in the aftermath of disasters. Considering this, the Mental Health First Aid offers an opportunity for Landcare members to respond with confidence and base level knowledge when supporting community members who have experienced trauma.
