Course Highlights
Comprehensive Curriculum
Our courses are delivered by licensed Mental Health First Aid instructors and cover critical mental health topics such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, and substance use problems.
Emergency Preparedness
Be ready for any crisis. Being trained as a Mental Health First Aider increases mental health literacy and teaches the practical skills needed to support a co-worker or another adult, experiencing a mental health problem or crisis including suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, and severe effects from alcohol or drug use.
Support That Matters
MHFA training is your bridge to improved knowledge of mental illness, available treatments, and first-response strategies. When you're equipped with the right tools, your support can change lives.
