This is a one day, 7- hour training session with a 1-hour lunch break (on your own). Participants are required to attend the entire training. Be prepared to support those around you by getting certified in Mental Health First Aid. Mental Health First Aid teaches the skills needed to recognize and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges, as well as how to provide someone with initial support until they are connected with appropriate professional help. In the course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help. If students are interested in the certification, they are required to pay at $25 fee.
