About Us
Supporting businesses and organisations to cultivate safe, healthy and connected communities.
Our Story
Founded by mental health educator, Roisin Trainor, our mission is to create safe, healthy, connected communities who are mental health literate and empowered to take control of their wellbeing.
We do this through
Enabling members of the public to recognise and respond when someone experiences a mental health problem.
For a healthy body and mind because we can’t help someone else if we don’t take care of ourselves first.
You’re in safe hands
With a background in providing crisis support to vulnerable and migrant communities, Roisin understands how important it is to be appropriately trained and supported to respond when someone is in crisis. She has years of experience in improving the health and wellbeing of diverse populations across a range of settings including community organisations, schools and universities.
Roisin has a Masters degree in Health Promotion and Public Health and is a licensed Principal Master Instructor* of the Mental Health First Aid training program. MHFA training has been independently evaluated since it was first launched in 2000 and continues to show that it leads to:
improved knowledge of mental illness and their treatments
improved knowledge of how to support someone with a mental health concern
confidence to apply those skills.
reduced stigma
MHFA training has even been shown to improve the mental health of those who attend the training!
* Principal Master Instructors are the most experienced and active Instructors of the MHFA program.
