Mental Health First Aid

Free Certification Course

This is a hybrid course that involves two hours of independent work online (Modules 1-10), to be completed on the Mental Health Connect site prior to a virtual or in-person interactive lecture. The course focuses on early intervention, early signs and symptoms, worsening signs and symptoms, self-care, and different levels of crisis.

After the lecture, participants will take a final exam to achieve certification.

This certification is completely FREE! Please check out available dates for our upcoming trainings.
