Mental health first aid may enhance speech-language pathology students' confidence and mental health literacy, however, students may experience a mismatch between increased awareness and perceived clinical readiness. Mental health first aid alone may not equip students with the skills required to support their clients, indicating a need for further training and adaptation.

Abstract

Mental health first aid may enhance speech-language pathology students' confidence and mental health literacy, however, students may experience a mismatch between increased awareness and perceived clinical readiness. Mental health first aid alone may not equip students with the skills required to support their clients, indicating a need for further training and adaptation.
