Mental Health First Aid (Standard)

MHFA Canada is an evidence-based training program that is designed, just like traditional first aid, to enable people to recognize symptoms and provide support until professional help can step in.

Intended Learning Outcomes

• Identify signs of mental health problems in co-workers, friends, family, strangers and even themselves.
• Consider how to best support the individual and to help seek appropriate treatment for them.
• Build awareness and skills to help reduce the internalized shame and stigma of mental illness. 

Details: This offering of MHFA training is in person. The program will involve some pre-work as well as one-day in-person sessions on the scheduled dates at Augustana Campus.

Note: While there is no cost to attend, participants are required to provide a speed code at the time for registration. Failure to attend or a cancellation within 14 days of the session will result in the department being charged a $100.00 fee. Participants must complete the entire course (pre-work and the full in-person day) in order to be eligible for a letter of completion.
