Course Overview:

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an early intervention, public education program. It teaches adults how to recognize the signs and symptoms that suggest a potential mental health challenge, how to listen non-judgmentally, how to give reassurance to a person who may be experiencing a mental health challenge, and how to refer a person to professional support and services.
