Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to help a loved one who may be struggling with a mental health crisis or substance use disorder. Through this training, you’ll learn how to recognize, understand, and respond to signs of mental health or substance use challenges — and offer the first level of support. Training is an 8-hour course led by Peace River Center experts certified to teach Mental Health First Aid by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. Our training takes the fear and hesitation out of talking about mental health. We give people the tools to start these conversations, so more people can get stigma-free support.
Once you have taken Mental Health First Aid, your certification is good for three years.
