Event Details:Mental Health First Aid is an award-winning training program for members of the public with little-to-no knowledge of mental health issues, and teaches how to support someone in a mental health crisis situation or who is developing a mental disorder. Mental health first aid training can assist in early intervention and in the on-going community support of people with mental illnesses. The 12-hour training is divided into two six-hour days. Please note that you must attend the entire 12-hour course in order to receive certification.
