Mental Health First Aid teaches adults how to recognize the signs and symptoms that suggest a potential mental health challenge, how to listen non-judgmentally and give reassurance to a person who may be experiencing a mental health challenge, and how to refer a person to the appropriate professional support and services.
When you use the skills you learn in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), you are the first line of support for a person in need. You are there to help them feel less distressed and you can be a vital source in helping them seek further assistance. With an accurate view of mental health challenges, and using a strengths-based holistic perspective, you can help others to help themselves.
You can also be an advocate, empower your community, and improve self-care. As a Mental Health First Aider, you can be the one to make a difference in the life of someone with a mental health challenge. Your actions can be a first step in someone’s recovery journey.
This course is 6 hours and will satisfy the required CEU hours for the Direct Care Worker requirement for the year (6 CEUs).
