Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health First Aid is a course designed to teach individuals how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The training gives participants the skills needed to provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The training includes a 2-hour self-paced online class followed by a 5.5-hour instructor led training (via Zoom). The self-paced portion must be completed prior to participating in the live session. Participants who complete the course receive a training certificate from Mental Health First Aid USA. This is an evidence-based program developed by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and will be facilitated by Mark Lane, Associate Director, National Native Children’s Trauma Center and Lauren Kelso, Training and Technical Assistance Provider, National Native Children's Trauma Center.

Registration will close January 4.
