Certification Description:

ADULT Mental Health First Aid -

Participants take part in a 2-hour, self-paced class, followed by a 5.5-hour, instructor-led class using videoconferencing technology. Mental Health First Aid helps participants assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid course, participants 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.

This course provides attendees with a completion certificate at the end of the course and is the mental health equivalent of First AID/CPR.  All participants also receive access to an online handbook that they can use as a reference.  

Participants learn how to apply the Mental Health First Aid action plan in a variety of situations, including when someone is experiencing:

•          Panic attacks

•          Suicidal thoughts or behaviors

•          Non-suicidal self-injury

•          Acute psychosis (e.g., hallucinations or delusions)

•          Overdose or withdrawal from alcohol or drug use

•          Reaction to a traumatic event
