Take a class. Save a life. Strengthen your community. MENTAL HEALTH
FIRST AID (MHFA) is an 8-hour class that provides people the basic
tools to help someone who might be developing a MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM
OR EXPERIENCING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. MHFA can save a life, just
like CPR can save someone who is having a heart attack. Why is MHFA
important? MENTAL ILLNESS IS COMMON. Approximately 1 in 5 adults
experiences MENTAL ILLNESS. 50% of MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES CAN be
identified by age 14. Who should take MHFA? Anyone! MHFA gives
people the tools they need to help friends, family, colleagues and
community members. It answers key questions like "What do I do?" and
"Where can someone find help?" What will you learn in MHFA? Warning
signs and risk factors for MENTAL ILLNESS Information on sign and
symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis and substance use
disorder A 5-step action plan to help someone showing signs of MENTAL
