Aboriginal Mental Health First Aid Training

Moorditj Koort's Culture Care Connect Program in partnership with Aunty Rosalie Kickett and Teresa Miller co-hosted a two-day Aboriginal Mental Health First Aid training at the William Bertram Community Centre on 23–24 September 2025.

The training took place over the two days, in which participants gained valuable skills and awareness to recognise signs and symptoms, and learned how to provide culturally safe mental health first aid as first responders to our mob in the community.

Participant feedback:

“The training was amazing; I loved all of it. So warm and welcoming, I built a lot of knowledge.”

“Would love to learn more about cultural actions to help Aboriginal communities, like cultural nuances & what that means for non-Aboriginal workers.”

“It was deadly! Would love to see more of our mob in the community doing this training.”

“Thanks for putting it together. It was really informative, and the aunties did a great job. Best training I’ve been to where everyone was actively listening.”
