UWA's Mental Health First Aid Officers

As part of its Mental Health and Wellbeing Framework UWA has appointed more than 60 nationally accredited Mental Health First Aid Officers (MHFAOs) to assist staff and students wanting someone to talk to about their mental health. MHFAOs are an informal, confidential peer support offering initial contacts, assistance & referrals. Importantly, MHFAOs are not a substitute for professional support services such as those offered by your GP, or trained psychologists.

In contrast to physical First Aid, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the help offered to someone developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental illness, or a mental health crisis. MHFA is given until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves - possibly ranging from minutes to weeks.
