Mental Health First Aid Standard - 1-day virtual workshop

2-hours are self-directed learning (module 1) and 6-hours instructor-led hours (module 2 & 3).
Participants are REQUIRED to complete Module 1 (self-directed) before participating in Modules 2 and 3.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the support provided to a person who may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or experiencing a mental health crisis.

Course participants will learn how to:

  • Recognize signs that a person may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis
  • Have conversations that encourage a person to:
    • Talk about declines in their mental well-being
    • Discuss professional and other supports that could help with recovery to improve mental well-being
    • Reach out to supports
  • Assist in a mental health or substance use crisis
  • Use MHFA actions to maintain one’s own mental well-being

 ‘First Aiders’ do not take on the role of professionals – they do not diagnose or provide any counselling or therapy.
