MVPN: Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)

***Need to be registered a week before training start date to allow enough time to complete course pre-work***

Training alternates every month between the Veterans, Adult, and Youth Module.

Mental Health First Aid takes the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health and substance use problems by improving understanding and providing an action plan that teaches people to safely and responsibly identify and address a potential mental illness or substance use disorder.

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 use problem or experiencing a crisis.

Mental Health First Aiders are…

Teachers, first responders and veterans. They’re neighbors, parents and friends. They’re people in recovery, and those supporting a loved one.

Mental Health First Aiders are anyone who wants to make their community healthier, happier and safer for all.

Modules:

Adult: Oct, Jan, Apr, Jul

Veterans: Nov, Feb, May, Aug

Youth: Dec, Mar, Jun, Sep
