This two-day (16hr) course is an education-based program designed to address and promote mental health and reduce the stigma of metal illness in a workplace setting. We recognize that building healthy, high performing work cultures is of the upmost importance. MHFA is like regular first aid but rather than treating a physical injury, you treat a person who may be experiencing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. When you can recognize the signs of mental problems or mental crisis, you can administer mental health first aid until appropriate professional help is received or until the crisis is resolved. Minimum 8 people required for on-site class.
