Mental Health First Aid
What is Mental Health First Aid?
"Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the support provided to a person who may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis.
Course participants will learn how to recognize signs that a person may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis and encourage that person to:
-
Talk about declines in their mental well-being
-
Discuss professional and other supports that could help with recovery to improved mental well-being
-
Reach out to these support
-
Assist in a mental health or substance use crisis
-
Use MHFA actions to maintain one’s own mental well-being".
