Mental Health First Aid is an eight-hour course that teaches you how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders. The training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance abuse problem or experiencing a crisis. We offer both Adult and Youth Mental Health First Aid classes.
