Did you know………You are more likely to encounter someone you know like a friend, family member, coworker or neighbor in an emotional or mental health crisis than someone having a heart attack? Would you know what to do to help that person? Mental Health First Aid teaches a 5-step action plan to offer initial help to people with the signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in a crisis, and connect them with the appropriate professional, peer, social or self-help care.

Take the course, save a life, and strengthen your Community!
