Assisting a Person Affected by the Bushfire Crisis
Courtesy of Mental Health First Aid Australia
These guidelines are designed to help members of the public to provide mental health first aid to someone who is experiencing distress related to Australia’s bushfire crisis. The role of a mental health first aider is to assist the person until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves.
A first aider cannot make a diagnosis of mental illness or provide therapy.
