Mental Health First Aid Training

This is a 2 Day, Face-to-Face offering of the Standard Mental Health First Aid course offered by TUSA at the Sandy Bay Campus TUSA Office (Social Sciences building, Level 1)

For discounted pricing, enrolment requires current Student ID for student pricing and payment upfront. If using an invalid ID, you will be charged the remaining cost of a full-priced enrolment.
