Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) teaches you how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among children and adults. This training teaches valuable social, communication, intervention, and soft skills and helps individuals’ resumes stand out across ALL job industries/fields!

Participants will earn the official MHFA training certification from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, which is a worldwide, recognizable official endorsement that employers will be familiar with.

ALL CLASS YEARS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REGISTER AND ATTEND, including 1st years! Graduating seniors, this is the last chance before you graduate to receive this training and its materials free of charge, so you are highly encouraged to attend.

Lunch WILL be provided! We look forward to seeing you at the training.
