Mental Health First Aid
Be the Help Until Help Arrives
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a skills-based training program that teaches people how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health challenges or crises.
We believe everyone can play a role in supporting mental well-being — not just professionals. With the right knowledge, you can help someone in distress take the first step toward recovery.
What Is Mental Health First Aid?
Just as physical first aid helps you assist someone who’s injured, Mental Health First Aid equips you to assist someone experiencing:
Anxiety or panic attacks
Depression or mood disorders
Substance use concerns
Self-harm or suicidal thoughts
Trauma or emotional distress
You don’t diagnose or treat — you listen, reassure, and guide.
