Poor mental health affects one in four people, and young adults are particularly susceptible. Do you feel confident approaching the topic of mental health with people you care about or are concerned about?

'Talk to Me': Improving mental health and suicide prevention in young adults, is a German-Australian collaboration developed in response to the growing need to provide young people and those around them with the knowledge, skills, and understanding to recognise, identify, and respond to mental health challenges in themselves and others.

Key topics in this MOOC include understanding contributing factors to poor mental health, how to talk about addressing poor mental health, and strategies to increase mental fitness.

The course discusses the following subjects:

  • Module 1: Mental fitness
  • Module 2: Strategies to increase mental fitness
  • Module 3: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI)
  • Module 4: Suicidal behaviour in young adults (SBYA)
  • Module 5: Interventions in SBYA
  • Module 6: Gatekeeper interventions

The course is 6 weeks long and will require roughly 2-3 hours per week commitment. It is free to attend, but you can opt to add a verified certificate for 139 USD.

Language: English
