Two Day ( Tuesday 2 AND Thursday 4 August ) Older Person Mental Health First Aid Training

The 2 day (August 2 AND 4, 2022) Older Person Mental Health First Aid course is for any interested adult, particularly those who work with, live with or care for older people, including friends, neighbours, families and carers. You will learn how to assist a person aged 65+ who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves, using a practical, evidence-based action plan.

The course covers: depression and anxiety, confusion and dementia, psychosis, and crises associated with delirium, suicidal thoughts and behaviours, panic attacks, unsafe and challenging behaviours due to confusion.

Older Person Mental Health First Aid is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.

Registrations are now open for community members across the Shoalhaven to claim their spot in this free two-day Older Person Mental Health First Aid accredited training course on the 2 & 4 August. You MUST attend both days to receive accreditation from Mental Health First Aid Australia.

Facilitated by Principal Master Mental Health First Aid Instructor, Annette Tesoriero
