Mental Health First Aid
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid is a course that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a crisis.
Mental Health First Aid takes the fear and hesitation out of starting these conversations by improving understanding and providing an action plan that teaches people to safely and responsibly identify and address a potential mental health or substance use challenge.
When more people are equipped with the tools to start a dialogue, more people can get the help they need. Mental Health First Aiders are a vital link, connecting those experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge with appropriate support.
Why Mental Health First Aid Matters in Education
Educator Well-Being: Teachers and staff are the backbone of every institution. Burnout and stress are at an all-time high, making mental health support a critical priority.
Student Success: Students thrive academically and socially when they feel safe and supported. Addressing mental health needs improves focus, engagement, and outcomes.
Community Building: Schools with strong mental health frameworks foster inclusivity, empathy, and resilience, positively impacting the broader community.
