What is Mental Health First Aid?

Mental Health First Aid is a public education program that introduces the risk factors and warning signs of common mental health and substance use disorders, builds understanding of their impact, and reviews support options. The interactive virtual course teaches participants how to offer initial help to an individual who may be experiencing a mental health concern or crisis and connect them to the appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-care resources.

Who Should Attend?

This community-based education class is open to anyone interested in increasing their mental health literacy and skills. You do not need any background knowledge in mental illness to attend.

Please note this class may be too basic for those who work in mental health services. Contact hours are available.

This class, valued at $25 per person, is funded by Fairview Foundation and sponsored by Christian Cupboard Emergency Food Shelf (CCEFS).
