Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is designed to equip participants with the skills to assist individuals who may be developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. Similar to how first aid provides immediate care for physical injuries, MHFA offers crucial support until professional treatment can be accessed or the crisis is resolved.
Course Structure:
- Duration: This comprehensive 9-hour course begins with a two-hour self-directed module (Module 1), which covers essential information and strategies that will be discussed and practiced in the subsequent classroom sessions.
- In-Person Modules: Following Module 1, participants will engage in two in-person sessions (Modules 2 and 3), each lasting three and a half hours.
Materials Provided:
- Participants will receive an LMS code to access Module 1, which outlines MHFA actions for addressing mental health and substance use issues, as well as crises. Additionally, each participant will have access to the Online MHFA Participant Reference Guide.
Course Fee: The cost for this course is $275.00 per person. Upon successful completion, participants will receive a certificate of completion.
Registration Requirements:
- A minimum number of participants is required, and registration will be confirmed two weeks before the scheduled date.
- Upon confirmation, participants will receive an email with self-study materials for Module 1, which must be completed independently. Please note that Module 1 must be completed to proceed to the in-person sessions, and fees are non-refundable if this requirement is not met.
