About this service
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) provides basic knowledge of mental illness, and initial help provided to a person developing a mental health problem, experiencing a mental health crisis, or a worsening of their mental health.
The benefits of learning Mental Health First Aid are two-fold. Taking this course helps you become more confident at helping people who are experiencing a mental health problem. Early intervention puts less strain on crisis supports, which costs society billions in resources.
The second benefit is for people who are living with mental illness (1 in 5 Canadians). A greater understanding of mental health creates a more accepting and empathetic community. Better education and understanding validates the experiences of people living with mental health problems, and normalizes and humanizes mental illness.
Who can use it?
Adults interacting with adults 18 years and older.
