Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an eight-hour training designed to give participants the skills to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The course uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to recognize and respond to the warning signs and symptoms of a mental illness or emotional crisis.

This course is tailored specifically for university cultures to include:

• A discussion of campus culture and its relevance to the topic of mental health
• A discussion of the specific stress and risk factors faced by the higher education population
• Application of the action plan in a number of scenarios designed specifically for faculty, staff, and students
• A review of the mental health resources on campus and through partnerships in the community
