NESAPS visited Woorabinda to facilitate the YAMHFA workshop. Feedback from the workshop was that the trainers were deadly and lots of information was gained.

In the Youth AMHFA course, participants learn how to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait young people who may be experiencing a mental health problem or a mental health crisis until appropriate mental health support is received or the crisis resolves, using a practical, evidence based Action Plan.

At the NESPS AMHFA Workshop held in Mutijulu, the participants gained awareness of mental health issues and how to support their community.

NESAPS recently visited Alice Springs to facilitate the AMHFA workshop where participants found the workshop important with valuable insights.

NESAPS travels all around Australia to remote communities to deliver AMHFA Workshops. This is a photo of one of those beautiful communities, Palm Island.

At the NESAPS AMHFA workshops there are lots of activities to help you support people with mental health issues.

NESAPS held an AMHFA workshop in Palm Island in February. Participants found the workshop beneficial and gave them a good understanding of how to help others in need.

Participants that attended the NESAPS AMHFA workshop in Woorabinda believe that like first aid, if more people did this course there would be better outcomes for individuals in crisis.

Here are several participants who have received their certificate at the end of one the AMHFA Workshop’s that NESAPS facilitated.

At the NESAPS AMHFA Workshops participants learn all about ALGEE 1) Assess risk; 2) Listen non-judgmentally; 3) Give reassurance and information; 4) Encourage appropriate professional help; and 5) Encourage self-help and other support strategies.

Some more feedback that came from the AMHFA workshop that NESAPS held in Kalumburu was that the this is vital training required to save lives and educate the community about Mental Health.
