  • Mental Health First Aid

    Around 1 in 5 Australian adults experience a common mental illness each year. Mental Health First Aid training gives people the skills and confidence to support those who are developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis, until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves.

    Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Australia training has been identified as one of the key strategies to lessen the impact of mental health problems on productivity and can form a key part of any mental health strategy.

    DNA has accredited instructors able to deliver Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training to workplaces and in the community. Suitable for adults in workplaces, schools, and community settings to support other adults, this 12-hour course is available via face-to face, blended face-to face, and online delivery modes.

  • Oceania School & Community Workshops

    Australia and New Zealand are part of Oceania, the biggest region in the world, but there are 22 other island nations and millions of kilometres of Pacific Ocean that most people know little about. Their history is ancient, the culture is rich and Oceania is arguably the most linguistically diverse region in the world.

    Pacific people are leading the charge to protect our planet from climate change and restore wellbeing of land, ocean and people. Want to learn more about the Pacific and it’s people?
