DESCRIPTION:
WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IN A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS?
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the initial help given to someone who may be developing a mental illness or experiencing a mental health crisis. The aid provided is not a substitute for professional help, but may help in stabilizing the person until appropriate professional or other assistance can be engaged.
This 12-hour course teaches people how to recognize and help someone who may be developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health or substance abuse crisis, where and when to get help, and what type of help has been shown to be effective.
