Youth Mental Health First Aid Refresher Course

This five-hour refresher course gives you the opportunity to update your Youth Mental Health First Aid skills and knowledge.

For people who are accredited Mental Health First Aiders, this refresher course offers an opportunity to extend your accreditation for a further three years.

In this refresher course you'll have the opportunity to update your knowledge about how you can best support young people who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis, and practice your Youth Mental Health First Aid skills.

Our experienced teachers will guide you as you work through complex mental health first aid interactions, and gain an understanding of the latest research in the mental health field, as well as practice the three key actions for helping a young person who is feeling suicidal.

Note- to undertake this course, you must be over 18. You must also hold current Youth Mental Health First Aid accreditation (and/or undertake this course within 3 months of the expiration date).

It makes sense that you should be recognised for the things you already know how to do.

TasTAFE can assess your skills and knowledge based on your previous education, work history or life experience - which may help you to gain your qualification a whole lot faster!

More information on the recognition process is available on our recognition of prior learning and skills page.
