Mental Health First Aid
Similar to physical first aid and CPR, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) teaches you how to assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance abuse crisis, and provide support during non-crisis situations.
What Does Training Cover?

• How to interact with a person in crisis
• Expanded content on trauma, substance abuse and self-care
How Can Training Help Your Community?
Mental health disorders can affect performance at work and school, and harm families and personal relationships. They also increase the risk of other diseases. Addressing these issues, and learning more about them, can help us relate to other people, handle stress better, and make healthier choices.
