Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a nationally recognized, one-day training course from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. This course equips participants with the skills to identify, understand, and respond to mental health challenges, illnesses, and substance use disorders. MHFA provides the knowledge and confidence needed to reach out and offer initial help to someone experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis.
Studies show that individuals trained in MHFA have increased mental health literacy and are more confident in assisting someone in distress. This training is a powerful tool in breaking the stigma around mental health and fostering supportive communities.

“I learned a lot about looking for signs of mental health crises. I may not have been able to help those in my past, but now I feel equipped to make a difference.”
