To sign up, please provide an email you check regularly, as you will be getting emails from us. What you can expect:

1) Illume will email access to create an account on the MHFA Connect site.

2) Two hours of pre-work must be completed to attend the training.

3) To gain your Mental Health First Aid Certificate, you will need to pass an exam through National Counsel (on the MHFA Connect site).

4) You will be asked to partake in a pre & post test evaluation survey. This survey aids in the understanding of the grants goals and hopes to encourage future funding. This survey is not required.

5.) Mental Health First Aid requires a minimum of 5 learners per each training. If less than 5 learners complete the pre-work and come to the training, this training would have to be cancelled or rescheduled.


Mental Health First Aid course description:

Mental Health First Aid is a course that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a crisis.

Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.

Topics Covered:

  1. Depression and mood disorders
  2. Anxiety disorders
  3. Trauma
  4. Psychosis
  5. Substance Use disorders

Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency – the belief that individuals experiencing these challenges can and do get better and use their strengths to stay well.




This course is valued at $170. Thanks to a generous grant from SAMSHA, tickets will be paid for; learners may attend at no charge. This project was supported by Grant Number 1H79SM084448-01 from SAMHSA. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the SAMHSA.
