Mental Health First Aid at Work is a high impact, skills-based training program that teaches employees how to offer help to a person who may be developing or is suffering from a mental health concern or crisis.  Employees learn how to act in the same way they would when they see someone having a physical/medical problem or emergency.  Similar to physical First Aid training, employees gain the skill and confidence to provide direct assistance to support a person in need.  When necessary, employees learn how to reach out for emergency services on the other’s behalf.

By fostering a culture of mental well-being and compassion, MHFA at Work Certification makes your organization a better place to work.  Learners come away with a better understanding of how to care for their own well-being at work, as well as an Action Plan to apply to non-crisis and crisis scenarios. MHFA at Work does not teach people to diagnose or to provide treatment.

Following this course, participants will be able to:

• Risk factors and warning signs of mental health and substance use challenges.
• Strategies for helping in both crisis and non-crisis solutions.
• Where to turn for help.

Who should attend?  Owners, Senior Leaders, Human Resources, Safety Officers, Supervisors, Managers and Everyone else!
