Peer Mental health First Aid goes beyond regular mental health or psychological first aid. Life Surfers Peer Mental Health First Aid (PMHFA) is a 10 hour evidence based training focussed at providing fundamental skills to a lay person, to be a first responder to a peer, experiencing an ongoing mental health issue or a mental health crisis.
