INTRODUCTION

The Mental Health First Aid course provides everyday people the skills to help persons experiencing a mental health crisis or intervene early to potentially prevent a crisis from occurring. The program is based on the principle that early intervention may prevent crises from becoming more severe as encouraging people to seek help early can improve recovery outcome. Mental Health First Aid teaches people how to connect a person in need with the appropriate professional, peer or self-help care.
