Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid USA 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 evidence behind the program demonstrates that it helps trainees identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders.
​
This course is intended for ANYONE- you do not need to have any mental health training to participate! It is meant to teach the layperson how to respond a situation where an adult or young person is experiencing a mental health problem or crisis.
