Mental Health First Aid

Year 9 and 11 Teen Mental Health First Aid Training

We are nearing completion of our teen mental health first aid training with all Year 9 and Year 11 students offered training to assist their friend experiencing emerging mental health problems and crises. Students have been taught the teen mental health first aid action plan to assist their friend. The roll out of this program has been made possible thanks to VIC Police. Working together with VIC Police has also allowed young people to liaise with our local police officers and understand how Police respond to mental health issues presented in our community. Our students have gained confidence in approaching police for assistance.
