Mental Health First Aid is a training that teaches you how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use crisis. Just like CPR helps you assist someone having a medical emergency, Mental Health First Aid gives you the tools to support someone experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges.
