MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID
Want to learn how to support the general population outside of the workplace?
We can connect you with a certified MHFA facilitator.
MHFA training can help you:
- Increase your general knowledge of mental illnesses (depression, anxiety, substance use, and psychotic episodes).
- Give you greater confidence and hands-on experience to assist someone with a mental illness.
- Trains you on how to respond to someone who may be experiencing these conditions using set action plans and crisis intervention strategies.
- Decrease the stigmatized attitudes.
- Improve the mental health of participants.

Course participants will learn how to recognize signs that a person may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health
crisis and encourage that person to:
- Talk about declines in their mental well-being
- Discuss professional and other supports that could help with recovery to improve mental well-being
- Reach out to these supports
- Assist in a mental health or substance use crisis
- Use MHFA actions (A.L.G.E.E.S.) to maintain one’s own mental well-being.
