Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour training to teach participants how to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.
The innovative program equips people to provide initial help until appropriate professional, peer, or family support can be engaged. Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency – the belief that individuals experiencing these challenges can and do get better, and use their strengths to stay well.
Who should attend? Teachers, university professors, HR professionals, church leaders, social service providers, nurses, office managers, police and first responders, families affected by mental illness, anyone interested in helping others.

In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.
