Had the absolute pleasure of facilitating Mental Health First Aid recently for the Stride Mental Health team. This fantastic group of people provide su***de prevention services, mental health hubs, family and carer support, group programs, and peer work-infused programs across Sydney and the Illawarra/Shoalhaven region. This crew were knowledgeable, respectful, passionate and genuine about their work in supporting the recovery of people and their families living with mental illness. It was an amazing two days of training, and with their use and application of MHFA, I have no doubt their skills will continue to help many.

My 'Why' for being a Mental Health First Aid Instructor. In support of the current national 'What is your why? campaign, I have shared three reasons that are so important to me and the reason why, after 16 years as an instructor, I am just as passionate as ever about this fantastic course. Hopefully, the three reasons I share in the video resonate with you and inspire you to find out more about MHFA, whether you have never participated in the course or, conversely, encourage you to continue building on your journey as a MHFA first aider or instructor. hashtag hashtag .

New Mental Health Blended Online (Standard Community and Workplace ) are available for registration. (August and September options available).

Have you ever wanted to undertake MHFA or would like to have members of your staff participate but are worried about the two full day commitment?

Well the blended online option lets you complete much of the material in a self paced fashion , which then only leaves a 5 hour (two 2.5 hr sessions) online with an instructor in oder to gain your MHFA certificate and accreditation.

Much more flexible and trained by one of mental healths industry leaders who has a passion to ensure you have the best experience of MHFA available.

Having a conversation may save a life.
Would you know what to say?

Just as physical first aiders know how to provide initial assistance in a medical emergency, Mental Health First Aiders are equipped with the skills, knowledge and confidence to recognise and respond to mental health problems or crises.
More than 1.3 million Australians have the crucial skills to support people when it matters most. Start your journey to understanding how you can make a difference.

Is your organisation looking for the very best in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training ?

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to facilitate a variety of mental health education to groups as diverse as GPs, allied health professionals, NGOs, community and welfare teams, youth workers, Aboriginal Health organisations, CALD organisations and, importantly, consumers, carers, and lived experience workers. Mental Health First Aid is the course that I hold most dear as a facilitator, as I have seen first-hand what it can do in people's lives and how it can often enable positive first steps towards support or, in some cases, reduce the impact of an MH crisis.

I have run the course for over 14 years, am a Master Accredited trainer, and have trained several thousand participants. However, my enthusiasm, passion and commitment to offering this course are still as vibrant as when I started and I am pleased now to act as Chair of the National Mental Health First Aid instructor reference group.

If you are considering Mental Health First Aid for yourself, your organisation or a
community group you are part of, I would love to discuss how Crucial Cognition
Consulting can help you achieve these aims.

What does 'Aiming Up' mean to you?

Currently I am right in the thick of training for my first Marathon in September and this follows two successful Half Marathons over the past 12 months. I am not a natural runner, getting anywhere near these distances has taken a lot of work, sacrifice and determination.
So why the effort to do these distances? The answer is simple: it is one of the ways I decided to 'AIM UP' in 2024.

Developing the AIM UP mindset took three main ingredients:

-Consistency: showing up every day, even on the days you least feel like it
-Setting incremental goals whilst keeping the main goal firmly in sight
-Surrounding myself with a great team

All these ingredients are also key components in my Crucial Conversations training course for high-performing teams and effective leaders, and I firmly believe has the potential to take you, your team and your organisation to the next level.

Success in whatever we aspire to in life can often feel like a marathon, unattainable, long and arduous, but with the right approach, every step you make can be made with purpose, and I would love the Crucial Conversations course to be one of those steps for you.
