Mental Health First Aid – Online - Support our Paralympians

1 in 5 Australians will experience a mental health problem in any given year. That means that every person is likely to know someone who is experiencing a mental health problem. Anyone can have a conversation that may save a life. Everyone should know how!

Our Founder and Chief Culturiser - Jo Marshall is passionate about supporting people who are differently abled in a range of communities - especially in the workplace and in sporting communities. She is about to hike up Australia's highest peak - Mt Kosciusko to raise funds for Paralympics Australia. Sign up for MHFA at a heavily discounted rate and you will be contributing $150 of your fee to Paralympics Australia. The other $100 goes to the cost of e-learning vouchers via Mental Health First Aid Australia. Jo and Culturise are foregoing all administrative and facilitation costs for this one!
