The Mental Health First Aid training is open to students, faculty, staff, and community members who would like to be better equipped to recognize the signs and symptoms of possible mental health concerns. The internationally recognized program is rooted in recovery, resiliency, and empowering individuals to take action when they encounter someone in distress.
Earn the Mental Health First Aid certification by completing two hours of pre-work, attend a 7.5 hour instructor-led session, and pass a final exam.
The Mental Health First Aid certification, powered by the National Council of Well-Being, is valid for three years after completion.
