Mental Health First Aid Class Scheduled, Virtual and In-Person

Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training that teaches people how to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use challenge in adults ages 18 and over. The evidence behind the program demonstrates that it builds mental health literacy, providing an action plan that teaches people to identify and address a potential mental health or substance use challenge safely and responsibly. Mental Health First Aid is sometimes called Adult Mental Health First Aid.
