Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Mental Health Interventions
  • Program Evaluation

Background:

  • Mental health first aid (MHFA) is crucial support for individuals experiencing mental health challenges or crises.
  • MHFA bridges the gap until professional help is accessed or the crisis subsides.
  • Understanding existing MHFA programs is essential for evidence-based practice and future development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically map existing mental health first aid programs globally.
  • To identify the key characteristics, target participants, and implementation settings of these programs.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of MHFA initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review methodology was employed, adhering to JBI and PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
  • Searches included English, Portuguese, and Spanish literature (published and unpublished) from 2009-2019.
  • Rigorous screening and data extraction by two independent reviewers were conducted.

Main Results:

  • The review identified and characterized a diverse range of mental health first aid programs.
  • Details on program participants, training content, and implementation contexts were systematically collected.
  • Findings will be presented through narrative summaries, tables, and visual representations.

Conclusions:

  • This scoping review offers a foundational understanding of the global MHFA program landscape.
  • The findings will inform researchers, policymakers, and practitioners regarding MHFA program design and implementation.
  • Further research can build upon this map to enhance the reach and effectiveness of MHFA.
