International Partners
Global Presence
Mental Health First Aid International is the founding organisation and global authority on Mental Health First Aid.
We represent an international network of partners working together to deliver practical Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training and education. Together we have over 67,000 Instructors and have delivered training to over 6 million people across 29 countries, who have joined our global movement of Mental Health First Aiders.
The MHFA Program has been adapted for use in those other countries and rigorous evaluations have contributed to its international uptake.
