The Ministry for Health and Active Aging in collaboration with the Ministry for National Heritage, the Arts and Local Government has launched a nationwide project to equip individuals with Mental Health First Aid through all local councils in Malta and Gozo.

This initiative is being carried out in collaboration with Richmond Foundation.

The full cost of the course is covered by the Ministry for Health. Therefore, participants are not required to pay any course fees when enrolling through this initiative.

The Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course provides the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to support and assist friends, relatives, students or colleagues facing mental health problems.

The course will equip you with the updated knowledge, skills and abilities appropriate to provide the necessary assistance and guidance to support people facing mental health problems. The ultimate aim of Mental Health First Aiders is to help the person seek professional help.

The first stage of registration involves indicating your preferences regarding the course, the locality, and the timing. After this initial registration, Richmond Foundation will contact you via email to invite you to register for a course with specified dates, times, and location. This process ensures that we can respond to demand effectively.
