 Adult Mental Health First Aid Flier

One in five American adults experiences a mental health disorder in a single year.  Almost half of all American adults will experience a mental illness during the course of their lifetime. More than 20 million Americans ages 12 and older will face an addiction. 

Mental Health First Aid for Adults teaches people how to recognize signs of mental health or substance use challenges in adults ages 18 and older, how to offer initial help through a 5-step action plan, and how to guide a person toward appropriate care if necessary.

Topics covered include anxiety, depression, psychosis, and addictions.

Those who successfully complete the class will earn an MHFA (Mental Health First Aid) certificate, which is valid for 3 years.
