Standard MHFA Refresher
Practical skills for supporting adults with confidence, clarity, and care
Refresh confidence in supporting adults – with clarity, consistency, and calm conversations.
The Standard Mental Health First Aid Refresher supports previously trained MHFAiders to update knowledge, strengthen practical skills, and extend accreditation in line with Mental Health First Aid requirements.
Introduction:
Over time, guidance evolves and confidence can fade – especially when mental health conversations become more complex or high-stakes.
The Standard MHFA Refresher provides a structured opportunity to revisit core principles, reconnect with the ALGEE Action Plan, and practise responses to real-world scenarios. The course reinforces role clarity, boundaries, and next steps, supporting steady, responsible responses when adults are experiencing mental health challenges.
