Mental Health First Aid Trainer (ALPMA)

Mental Health First Aid Trainer – Legal Industry

The Australasian Legal Practice Management Association (ALPMA) is interested in speaking with qualified Mental Health First Aid Trainers that have completed the MHFA Instructor training program with Mental Health First Aid Australia and can assist to deliver online training on a monthly basis for our members. In particular, we are interested in speaking with qualified instructors who have completed the qualifications required to deliver the online, in person or blended training courses specifically tailored to the legal industry.

As the peak membership body for legal practice management across Australia (and New Zealand) we currently offer our Australian members the ability to participate in monthly MHFA training sessions organised by ALPMA. We are therefore interested in speaking with instructors who can help facilitate these training sessions (both initial and refresher training) on a monthly basis as organised by ALPMA.

• Advertise, market and promote monthly sessions
• Book, process and manage all bookings received including payment
• Liaise with our MHFA instructor for availability of session dates
• Provide vouchers to MHFA instructors to set up participants in the MHFA portal to access prior readings
• Set up all zoom/online meeting details
• Manage all communications with participants
