What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an evidence-based training program designed to teach individuals how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges. It equips participants with the skills needed to provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a crisis.
Classes are taught in 2 half-day sessions. Please review the dates and locations provided in the link.
The suggested Donation is $29 – however, we will not turn anyone away if they cannot afford to purchase the materials for class.
