What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an evidence-based training that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges. Mental Health First Aiders are trained to be a nonjudgmental listening ear. Through reassurance, support and resources, Mental Health First Aiders talk with people experiencing mental health and substance use challenges and help shine a light on a path forward.
Who Should Attend?
The Adult Mental Health First Aid course is appropriate for anyone age 18 or older who wants to learn how to help a person who may be experiencing a mental health crisis or problem. The course is applicable to employers, law enforcement officers, hospital staff, first responders, faith leaders, social services providers, community members, and other caring individuals.
