How is this different from other mental health courses?

There is only one global Mental Health First Aid trademarked course (MHFA™) which Intellect is the sole licensed provider to deliver in Singapore. This may be referenced on MHFA-International's website.

Other courses do not have access to the globally recognised MHFA™ course curriculum which has been refined and updated over 23 years to six million trainees worldwide. This is not necessarily a reflection of other providers' course quality.

On a practical level, MHFA™ is heavily focused on not just awareness, but skills-based outcomes to help respond to and reassure an individual affected by mental health issues.

Finally, MHFA training is designed for non-mental health professionals and the MHFAider’s role stops once appropriate professional help is reached.

"The instructor made the session more fun and interactive. We were able to enjoy the role-playing. He provided important feedback after each activity, reinforcing the knowledge we have imbibed."
