What is Mental Health First Aid?
Just as CPR helps a person with no clinical training assist someone having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders. This training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support and how to communicate with individuals experiencing these scary moments. If we identify problems early, we increase the chances people get the help they need as soon as possible.
Our instructors are certified to provide in person, virtual and blended learning options for Adult Mental Health First Aid and Youth Mental Health First Aid.
Individual registration starts at $125 for access to materials, the live, engaging course, a three year certification and the option to access CEU’s. We offer scholarships and group discounts.
Adult Mental Health First Aid
Builds skills to help adults who may be experiencing a mental health problem or crisis and to connect those adults to care, as appropriate.
Youth Mental Health First Aid
Gives adults who work with youth ages 6-18 the skills they need to reach out and provide initial support to children and adolescents.
