经济困难与心理健康问题之间存在着重要联系。那些有经济困难和精神健康问题的人可能更愿意寻求经济困难的帮助，而不是精神健康问题。因此，本研究的目的是确定心理健康急救（MHFA）培训是否有效地提高财务顾问的能力，以识别客户的心理健康问题，并适当地支持他们获得帮助。在2013年12月至2014年7月期间，财务顾问（n = 113）完成了面对面或在线MHFA培训以及测量MHFA意图，心理健康素养和污名化态度的课程前和课程后调查。结果表明，MHFA培训提高了急救意愿，心理健康素养和提供帮助的信心，并减少了污名化的态度。研究结果表明，财务顾问处于有利地位，以支持客户的心理健康问题，以获得适当的照顾，此外，MHFA是一种适当的培训形式。
There is a significant link between financial difficulties and mental health problems. Those with financial difficulties and mental health problems may be more willing to seek help for financial difficulties than for mental health problems. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine if Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training is effective in improving financial counsellors' ability to recognise mental health problems in clients and appropriately support them to get help. Between December 2013 and July 2014, financial counsellors (n = 113) completed either face-to-face or online MHFA training and pre- and post-course surveys measuring MHFA intentions, mental health literacy and stigmatising attitudes. Results showed that MHFA training improved first aid intentions, mental health literacy and confidence in providing help, and reduced stigmatising attitudes. The findings suggest that financial counsellors are in a good position to support clients with mental health problems to get appropriate care and moreover, that MHFA is an appropriate form of training for them.
