Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based, 8-hour training that introduces participants to common risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems and specific illnesses like anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, bipolar and schizophrenia.
Think of Mental Health First Aid as a first aid class from the neck up. With the help of Algee, our cuddly koala buddy, we will teach you a five-step action plan to support someone developing a mental illness or experiencing a mental health crisis, and connect them to appropriate services.
You don’t need any mental health background to benefit from this class. If you work with and around people, Mental Health First Aid may very well help you save a life.
