SUMMARY:Mental Health First Aid Training
DESCRIPTION:A two-day course teaches participants how to provide initial support to another adult who may be developing a mental health issue, having a worsening of a mental health issue, or be in crisis.

Participants can become an Accredited Mental Health First Aider by completing an online assessment post-course.
