MHFA is not training participants how to treat or diagnose, but participants will learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health concerns. This is a great way to learn how to best intervene when you’re noticing mental health concerns at varied stages (early warning signs, worsening signs, and mental health crises). 

This training is 8 hours (lunch provided). Participants must complete the training and all necessary training items (before and after) to earn their certificate. “
