Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an 8-hour course that teaches you how to help someone who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge.
The training helps you identify, understand and respond to signs of addictions and mental illnesses. Participants receive a certificate upon course completion.
Once you are enrolled in a training by our facilitators, you will be invited to create a Learner's Portal with MHFA to complete pre-work (approximately 2 hours) before your schedule training. You will also receive confirmation of the room or zoom link and other details once completed.
