Mental Health Response Sydney - Mental Health Management

Mental Health Response

Mental Health Response is our signature workshop. It is a hands-on, practical first aid response workshop to help you support someone experiencing mental health issues.

In order to prevent long-term mental health complications and the possibility of suicide, early intervention is key.

This workshop aims to familiarise you with the signs and symptoms of poor mental health and equip you with the tools needed to support people with issues such as depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to recognize changes in behavior and offer an informed first aid response to help somebody in need.
