The Mental Health First Aid Refresher course allows people who have previously completed a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Standard Aotearoa course to refresh their knowledge and skills. This provides an opportunity to extend their MHFA accreditation for a further three years. The content of the refresher course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of professionals and people with lived experience of mental health challenges.

Evaluations consistently show that Mental Health First Aid Refresher training improves understanding of the mental health challenges people experience, their options for treatments and helpful first aid strategies. Participants report increased confidence in their ability to offer Mental Health First Aid which enables early access to help.

The training also decreases stigma and discrimination that many people with mental health and addiction challenges experience.
