Empowered Forward as Your Training Provider

At Empowered Forward, we are committed to delivering high-quality mental health education that is accessible to all.


Our story began with a simple but powerful vision: that every person, regardless of background, experience or location, should have the opportunity to learn how to support someone experiencing a mental health problem or crisis.


Our Mental Health First Aid courses are delivered by a licensed MHFA Australia instructor, with practical, real-world experience. We work with individuals, community groups, councils, schools, workplaces and organisations across Cairns and surrounds, and Australia-wide on request, face-to-face or online. We help them expand their knowledge, build capability, strengthen confidence and, for workplaces, support their workplace’s approach to psychological health and safety.


Through engaging, relevant and supportive learning, we help participants and teams build the knowledge, skills and confidence to recognise when someone may be struggling, start a conversation, and connect them with the right support. 


Participants who complete their course become accredited Mental Health First Aiders.

Courses and Programs

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Courses and Programs

 Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) courses give you practical, evidence-based skills and the confidence to recognise the signs of a mental health problem or crisis, respond calmly and helpfully, and support the person to get appropriate professional help.


Whether you want to strengthen your workplace, support your community, or build your own skills and confidence, MHFA training can help create safer workplaces, more supportive communities and greater personal resilience.


Full courses and refresher courses are available, with flexible face-to-face and online options. Courses are delivered by a licensed MHFA Australia instructor.


Not sure which course is right for you? We’re happy to help. Contact us any time to talk about your goals or training needs.


Please Note: 

MHFA courses teach you how to recognise when someone may be developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing problem, or in a mental health crisis, and how to give initial support until professional help is received or the crisis resolves. This is the full scope of the training. It does not qualify participants to diagnose, treat or counsel.
