Mental Health First Aid Education for workplaces
Build a workplace where employees can identify early signs of mental health issues, support their colleagues, and take action before problems escalate.
What is Mental Health First Aid Education?
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) education focuses on what happens after initial training, helping employees retain, apply and build on the skills they’ve already learned.
While accredited MHFA training provides a strong foundation, many organisations find that without ongoing support:
- Skills are forgotten
- Confidence drops over time
- Knowledge isn’t applied in real situations
Our programs are designed to bridge this gap, turning training into practical, ongoing capability across your organisation.
What MHFA Education Helps You Achieve
✓ Enhanced Psychological Safety
✓ Reduced Leadership Burnout
✓ Extend the value of your existing MHFA investment
✓ Encourage earlier intervention

What’s Included in Our MHFA Education Programs
What Our Clients Say
Over the last 6 months, we partnered with the team at Better Being to put together a program for our Aurecon Wellbeing Ambassadors. The program covered a wide variety of health and wellbeing concepts that explored everything from the science of sleep to the fascinating ways exercise rewires the brain. Greg Stark and the team brought energy and expertise (as always!), which helped to spark meaningful conversations and inspired healthy habits across our Wellbeing Ambassador community.

frequently asked questions
What is mental health first aid education?
Mental health first aid education focuses on reinforcing and building on existing MHFA training. It helps employees retain knowledge, build confidence, and apply their skills effectively in real workplace situations.
Is this the same as Mental Health First Aid training?
No. This is not initial certification training. It is designed for organisations that have already completed MHFA training and want to extend, reinforce, and embed those skills over time.
Why is follow-up education important after MHFA training?
Without reinforcement, skills from initial training can fade over time. Ongoing education helps ensure:
- knowledge is retained
- confidence is maintained
- skills are applied in real situations
What does the program include?
Programs typically include:
- refresher sessions
- scenario-based learning
- practical application of MHFA skills
- tools and frameworks to support ongoing learning
How does this support workplace wellbeing outcomes?
Mental health first aid education helps organisations:
- strengthen internal capability
- encourage earlier intervention
- improve psychological safety
- maximise the value of their initial MHFA investment
