Blended Community Mental Health First Aid Course
Course Description
Blended Community Mental Health First Aid Course
Our Mental Health Courses are presented by our trainer Ronnie Kakaire. Ronnie has a very strong passion for training and facilitating workshops with over ten years of experience. His energetic, engaging and yet entertaining style of delivering training has made him a darling for most participants that have attended his sessions. “This is the best training I have attended in 40 years. I would attend any training delivered by Ronnie again and again.” One participant revealed. Ronnie draws real examples from his personal life, from his experience working with Lifeline and Suicide Prevention Services and from his experience working overseas and also with various ethnic communities. Ronnie has amassed experience delivering blended training to corporate organisations like NAB, Australia Unity, Barwon Water, Productivity Commission, Worksafe Australia, Department of Justice, Department of Education, Tullamarine Airport, Victoria Police, Vline, QBE, Tribal, Universities and so many public classes. “Ronnie brings a lot of energy in the training and his good use of humor made the training interesting and yet still relevant” another participant wrote. Classes now available on Saturdays.
Blended Community Mental Health training consists of e-learning followed by a half-day face-to-face online session.

Our trainer Luke was awesome. He was a paramedic for over 35 years and his experience tied in with the first aid training very well. I’m glad we were trained by someone that has actually had experience in real life scenarios. Highly Recommend 👌
