About the Instructor

Stephanie Acraman, an accredited MHFA instructor, is a local resident with deep ties to the Yorke Peninsula. She brings both professional expertise and lived experience, having supported loved ones through mental health challenges and suicide. Stephanie is also a lecturer at the University of Adelaide and mentors young people in the performing arts. Her passion lies in reaching every part of our region to provide accessible, life-saving training.

Subsidized Course Fee

Thanks to funding from Qantas and the Suicide Prevention Advocate to the Premiers office, SOS Yorkes is currently offering subsidized MHFA courses at $150 per person (standard cost: $300–$400pp). This limited-time offer is intended to make the training more accessible, especially for smaller groups or those who may face financial barriers.

Please note that subsidies are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. If funding has been exhausted at the time of your enquiry, full-cost enrolment will still be available.

We would also encourage you to hold the MHFA course at your organization, to ensure participants feel at ease in a natural environment and know they have the support of the organization they are engaged with. This can also build communication between participants following the course, helping participants to gain confidence in using skills in the environment they have been learning in. In this nature, we would also recommend that groups remain small to ensure support and open communication throughout the course. A group of 6 - 10 participants is an ideal number.

It is a nice opportunity for your organization to provide morning and afternoon teas (and lunch, if required depending on location) to help participants relax and engage with each other during the breaks.

If you would like to discuss any of the details or would like help to plan the courses, we can offer support for this.
