These guidelines describe how members of the public should provide first aid to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person who may be developing a mental illness or experiencing a mental health crisis. The role of the first aider is to assist the person until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves. These guidelines are designed to accompany the series Guidelines for Providing Mental Health First Aid to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Person.
