Do you feel equipped to respond to someone in a moment they are in distress?
Do you have a First Responder capability in your organisation?
Mental Health First Response is made up of one day of small group training. It delivers key understandings, skills and practices so people can provide first response and co-care support for your wider community or workplace. This succinct and robust training enables them to respond quickly and effectively.

1. Mental Health Support Platforms - this session creates a strong foundation for all understandings of best support practices.
2. CRISIS Response - this session develops confidence to respond to mental health crises.
3. CONVOS Support Framework - this session guides you through a conversational framework to help you provide mental health support early.
4. Practice - build confidence by practicing the skills and applying it to your context in this session.
"Considering the restrictions of the Lockdown, I was super impressed with CoLiberate's ability to cohesively and mutually-supportively deliver this complex and multifaceted training even over video conferencing, with 12 attendees. I finished the first two sessions feeling much more positive that I could be more aware of behaviours that might indicate someone needs help, and that I can then be more helpful when someone requires support grappling with issues that might impact mental health."
- Mark Webster, Visitor Services Coordinator, Museum of Transport and Technology, Auckland.
"This course is among the most valuable training I have ever done, and should be regarded as essential."
"I was a bit concerned about training online as I prefer to work in a classroom environment, however, I think it worked really well. We, the participants, didn't have to compete for the mic like I thought we would. Our comments and feedback were acknowledged and our feelings validated. The facilitators provided a safe space for me to feel comfortable to learn, practice and make mistakes... Thank you CoLiberate!"
"I found this online training incredibly well organised, the Zoom environment was well structured and easy to navigate technologically (given the team sorted most of it!). Very impressed with the elegant simplicity, level of participation getting everyone engaged and practicing in a safe and comfortable way. Went away with a huge amount without feeling overwhelmed, emotional or confused."
