This training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be experiencing a mental health situation or substance use and help connect them to the appropriate care.
The 7–hour Adult Mental Health First Aid Course focuses on recognizing the patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and appearance that show there might be a mental health condition.
