Mental Health First Aid Training
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is offered to someone with an emerging mental health or substance use problem or in crisis, until appropriate treatment is found or the situation resolves. An evidence-based course, MHFA Standard has been proven to give participants:
- the tools to recognize signs of decline in mental well-being,
- the ability to talk about their mental health,
- the knowledge to discuss professional and other supports that could help with recovery or improved mental well-being,
- the confidence to reach out to these supports,
- the tools to assist during a mental health or substance use crisis, and
- the knowledge to use MHFA actions to maintain one’s own mental wellness.
Topics
This 9-hour course opens with a self-directed module (Module 1) that focuses on the information and strategies that participants will discuss and practice throughout the live classroom modules (Modules 2 and 3). Course participants will complete Module 1 before participating in Modules 2 and 3.
Upon registration, participants will receive a Participant Reference Guide which outlines MHFA actions for mental health and substance use problems and crises.
