MHFA - Community of Practice (CoP) Training
Many organisations invest in MHFA training, but without ongoing practice and support, those skills can fade. The CoP program bridges that gap—transforming one-off training into a living, breathing capability within your team.
This customisable and experiential program empowers participants to confidently apply their MHFA training through collaborative learning, shared experiences, and skill development. Whether online or onsite, you'll build increased organisational capacity and create a workplace where mental health support is genuinely embedded.
The CoP can be delivered on a needs basis or rolled out regularly—we recommend every 1-3 months, though 6 or 12-month intervals also work—to keep skills sharp and provide ongoing support.
The CoP content is tailored to your specific needs, with program design typically including:
Scenario-Based Learning: Practice conversations and case studies relevant to your environment.
Personal Resilience: Build boundary management techniques and individual self-care action plans.
Challenging Interactions: Learn de-escalation, conversation redirection and emotional regulation.
System Review: Assess and improve your organisation’s response to mental health issues and crisis.
Team Connection: Facilitated group sessions to build trust, openness and team cohesion.
Ongoing Resources: Receive post-training support materials to reinforce key learnings.

“It was such a pleasure being a part of Nicholas’s MHFA training and I learned so much about how to approach mental health in the workplace. Nicholas was extremely compassionate and knowledgeable, offering very sensitive strategies for providing support, intervention and potential treatment policies within the workplace. The information was extremely valuable and the lessons learned will stay with me for a lifetime”
