Mental Health First Aid Training

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an 8-hour course that teaches individuals how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The training provides the skills needed to provide initial help and support to someone until appropriate professional help or other assistance can be engaged.

Why Schedule a Training?
Most people know how to help if someone is having a heart attack- start CPR and call 9-1-1. But, not everyone knows how to help if someone is experiencing a mental health crisis. When more people are equipped with the tools they need to start a dialogue, more people can get the help they need. Mental Health First Aiders can even save lives.
