No. Accreditation to deliver AMHFA courses is only available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
Mental Health First Aid® Australia (MHFA™)'s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander courses recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are diverse and that is it important to recognise that each has differing backgrounds, cultures, experiences, skills and aspirations. These differences extend to certain cultural practices and beliefs between Aboriginal language groups, kinship, family obligations and responsibilities and this knowledge is owned by the individual community and person.
AMHFA courses are designed to be a basis from which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Instructors can culturally tailor the delivery to be appropriate for course participants and the community, and where the Instructor is in a position to choose to share their own cultural knowledge to ensure culturally safe delivery requirements. Cultural tailoring and course planning for AMHFA courses include cultural considerations/protocols and yarn ups.
