Sometimes first aid isn’t a bandage, or CPR, or calling 911. Sometimes first aid is YOU.
A person you know could be experiencing a mental health or substance use problem. Learn an action plan to help.
You are more likely to encounter someone in an emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack. Learn how to help a friend, family member, coworker or neighbor in need. Get trained in Mental Health First Aid.
Take a course. Save a life. Strengthen your community.
Please note:
Anyone 18 or older can take Mental Health First Aid. This introductory course is not intended for current mental health treatment providers or school counselors.
