About this event
Register today for our Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Certification Course. This course is an internationally recognized program designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health challenges or crises.
Similar to physical first aid, MHFA empowers individuals to provide initial support to someone experiencing a mental health issue, guiding them to appropriate professional help and resources.
This course promotes awareness, reduces stigma, and fosters a supportive environment in workplaces, schools, and communities.
Participants receive a nationally recognized certificate upon completion.
Key Takeaways:
By completing the MHFA Certification Course, participants will:
Identify Signs & Symptoms: Recognize early signs of common mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, substance use, and psychosis.
Respond Effectively: Develop confidence to approach, communicate with, and support someone experiencing a mental health crisis.
Provide Immediate Support: Apply the MHFA Action Plan to assist individuals before professional help is available.
Promote Recovery: Learn strategies to connect individuals to appropriate resources and help foster recovery.
Reduce Stigma: Break down barriers and foster a culture of mental health awareness in their personal and professional lives.
Participants MUST complete the 2-hour online self-directed learning prior to session start. Participants will gain access to the online learning portal approximately one week before the session (January 15th, 2025).
