Just as physical first aid is administered to an injured person before medical treatment can be obtained, mental health first aid (MHFA) is given until appropriate treatment is found or until the crisis is resolved.
We provide mental health first aid training as continuing education or professional development. Whether you are a security guard or social worker who needs certification or simply want to gain a greater awareness and understanding of mental health issues, this course is for you.
MHFA training helps participants recognize common mental health illnesses and problems, increase confidence in providing help to others, and decrease social distance from people with mental health illnesses or problems.
