MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID

Identify.Understand.Respond

Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based curriculum that was designed to extend the concept of basic first aid training to include mental health and substance use challenges. Participants learn how to identify, understand, and respond to signs that someone may be experiencing a mental health and/or substance use challenge. MHFA is shown to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness, increase community knowledge about mental health challenges, and connect those who are struggling to the support they need.
