Mental Health First Aid® Courses in Your Live4Life Community
One of the most important ways adults can support young people in rural and regional areas is to undertake Youth Mental Health First Aid® (MHFA) training.
Australia’s rural suicide rate is 40% higher than in metropolitan areas. Self-harm is 30% higher. Anxiety and depression are more prevalent. Teachers, parents/carers and community members who have done the training report being more confident when responding to a young person with a mental health need.

“We don’t have access to the same mental health advice and info that a lot of city kids do. It’s important to bring that into regional communities and find a place for it and involve everyone, as there’s no way to improve mental health without us fighting the stigma and reassuring people that it’s completely normal and okay to face these things — but you need to face them with other people.”
