Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training course that teaches participants about mental health and substance-use issues.
We can all think of someone who has been faced with mental health or substance use challenges. Someone we love, work with, go to school with or all the above. It can be daunting to reach out when you don’t know how to best support them. But don’t you wish you had tools to help?
