Virtual Mental Health First Aid Training Dates Coming Soon
Mental Health First Aid Training
We are living in challenging times and now more than ever, people are struggling to maintain their mental health. In response to COVID-19, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is now virtual. With updated content and information on trauma, addiction, and self-care, virtual MHFA participants will learn how to identify, understand, and respond to someone struggling with a mental health concern or misusing substances.
Virtual MHFA participants will experience:
No Cost. Nothing to Lose.
So Much to Gain.
Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack — even if you have no clinical training — Mental Health First Aid can help you save a person experiencing a mental health-related crisis.
