About this service
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the help provided to a person developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. Just as physical first aid is administered to a person before medical treatment can be obtained, MHFA is given until appropriate treatment is found or until the crisis is resolved.
MHFA Canada teaches mental health first aid skills. This course does not train people to be therapists, counselors or mental health professionals. The philosophy behind MHFA Canada is that mental health crises, such as suicidal and self-harming actions, may be avoided through early intervention. If crises do arise, then members of the public can take action that may reduce the harm that could result.
CMHA offers both MHFA:Basic and Seniors workshops.
