Mental Health First Aid is an evidence- and skills-based training that teaches people how to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use challenge in adults ages 18 and over. Geared through the lens of higher education, this course will help participants to better understand the unique challenges gap year and college students may face, help to increase participants’ mental health literacy, and provide an action plan of how to provide support safely and responsibly to others. Similar to CPR-First Aid, this training will provide participants with a certification as a Mental Health First Aider for three years from the date of attendance.
