About this Event

The NYC Department of Health is offering free Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training to all New Yorkers. MHFA is a groundbreaking public education program that teaches the skills needed to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance abuse challenges and crises. This 8-hour course uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to offer initial help in a mental health crisis and connect persons to the appropriate professional, peer, social and self-help care. Like CPR, MHFA prepares participants to interact with a person in crisis and connect the person with help. First Aiders do not take on the role of the professionals.

MHFA leads to:

• Greater recognition of behavioral health challenges

• Increased confidence in one’s ability to help

• Increased amount of help provided

• Decreased stigmatizing attitudes while promoting inclusion

Certification Programs Offered:

Adult MHFA

This course teaches participants a five-step action plan to help someone 18 years or older who is displaying signs of a mental illness or emotional crisis. The course will show you how to help an adult experiencing:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Psychosis

• Substance use disorders
