Mental Health Awareness & Mental Health First Aid Training for Schools Tasmania

iTrain Australia specialises in training those who work with young people to respond appropriately to youth mental health concerns. The Mental Health First Aid framework is a useful reference for teachers, coaches, leaders of youth-related organisations such as church youth groups, scouts, etc.

Teen Mental Health First Aid is also available for directly working with young people to give them skills in talking to their friends who may be suffering from a mental health crisis.

The Benefits of Mental Health Training in Schools

Research with high school students who receive MHFA report reduced stigma, increased confidence in supporting a peer with a mental health problem and an ability to recognise certain adults as helpful to a peer with a mental health problem.

Children and teens who struggle with their mental health are less likely to be motivated at school and may isolate themselves from friends and other social activities. Promoting positive mental health in schools and opening up conversations will lead to happier students who will achieve higher results and a happier time at school.

Why should my school offer Mental Health First Aid?

Schools that prioritise mental health create a supportive and caring environment where everyone can flourish. This is where Mental Health First Aid for schools comes in.

Mental Health First Aid is a practical training program equipping students, parents, carers, and staff with the skills and confidence they need. They'll learn to recognise signs of mental health challenges and respond effectively to those who may be struggling.

Developed with research and real-world experiences in mind, our courses provide high-quality, safe, and proven training. This builds mental health literacy and equips everyone to offer vital support to students and the broader school community.
