Course Objective
While we often know a lot about physical illness, there tends to be less knowledge about mental health or substance use problems. This lack of understanding leads to fear and negative attitudes toward individuals living with mental health or substance use problems. It prevents people from seeking help and providing appropriate support to people around them.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is offered to someone with an emerging mental health or substance use problem or in crisis, until appropriate treatment is found or the situation resolves. An evidence-based course, MHFA Standard has been proven to give participants:

• the tools to recognize signs of decline in mental well-being.
• the ability to talk about their mental health.
• the knowledge to discuss professional and other supports that could help with recovery or improved mental well-being.
• the confidence to reach out to these supports.
• the tools to assist during a mental health or substance use crisis, and the knowledge to use MHFA actions to maintain one’s own mental wellness.

Successful participants will achieve a Mental Health First Aid certificate from the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
