If you would like to become certified in Mental Health First Aid join us!
We all can play a significant role in helping to create a safe, supportive community, and response to those living with mental illness and addiction.
Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis.
In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.
