Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a program that works by teaching participants skills necessary to respond with care and genuine support to an individual experiencing a mental health or substance use concern or crisis. Mental health problems are common and, with the right help, wellness and recovery are possible.
Our instructors offer MHFA training to corporations, businesses, and organizations in-person and virtually. Upon successful completion of any MHFA course, participants will be a certified Mental Health First Aider for three years.
