Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. This 8 hour training — which focuses on the unique experiences and needs of college students — gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect them to the appropriate care and resources. Open to students, faculty, and staff members. There are two learning options:
VIRTUAL: First Aiders will complete a 1-hour, self-paced online course, and then participate in a 7-hour, Instructor-led video conference.
IN PERSON: First Aiders will participate in a 8-hour, in-person, Instructor-led class.
Summer Dates Coming Soon!
