Mental Health First Aid Training
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Training is a skill-based course that teaches participants how to approach mental health and substance abuse issues. These skills enable ordinary people to administer potentially life-saving care to individuals suffering mental health crises until they have access to professional support. MHFA can help people experiencing a wide variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, psychosis, substance abuse, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, self-injury, panic attacks, and traumatic events. MHFA courses cover how to recognize someone experiencing mental health difficulties, how to respond to a range of crisis situations, available mental health resources, and how to encourage someone to seek professional help.
