The Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a globally recognised accredited course that offers individuals the opportunity to increase their mental health literacy, empowering them to recognize and respond to signs of mental health challenges with confidence and empathy. By normalizing conversations about mental health and reducing stigma, MHFA fosters supportive, inclusive communities where individuals feel comfortable sharing their experiences and seeking help when needed.
The MHFA course is evidence-based and skills-based, following guidelines that are informed by people with lived experience, their caregivers, and mental health professionals. This internationally recognized program teaches individuals practical skills, knowledge, and confidence to make a difference.
The course blends 6 hours of e-learning with 6 hours of live training, followed by a final assessment. Upon completion, participants receive the MHFA Accreditation, valid for 3 years.

The Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course is suitable for a diverse array of individuals interested in acquiring the skills to provide initial support to those facing mental health challenges. Whether they are educators, healthcare professionals, first responders, community workers, or family members, MHFA welcomes anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of mental health issues and develop practical techniques for assisting individuals in crisis.
There is only one global Mental Health First Aid trademarked course (MHFA™) which Intellect is the sole licensed provider to deliver in Singapore.
Other courses are not licensed to use this terminology and hence do 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 through quality communication to help respond to and reassure an individual affected by mental health issues. MHFA training is designed for non-health professionals and the MHFAider’s role stops once appropriate professional help is reached.
Upon completion of this course participants will be able to:
You can complete the short assessment at the end of a course to become an Accredited Mental Health First Aider (MHFAider).
