Mental Health First Aid Training

The Student Wellness Center's Department of Counseling and Student Development is pleased to offer Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), a national training initiative in collaboration with Wheeler Clinic. MHFA teaches non-mental health professionals how to identify, understand, and respond to students who may be experiencing emotional, cognitive, or interpersonal distress, as well as substance use problems. This training makes it more comfortable to start conversations about mental health and substance use problems by improving understanding and providing action steps to assist students in getting the help they need.

MHFA training will be provided on Friday, July 24, from 8 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. Participants must be able to commit to attend the full day. Please note that this will be a live training that will take place at Hilltop Cafe. MHFA limits us to 25 participants per training group, and we will fill slots on a first-come, first-served basis.

After you complete the registration form below, you will receive an invitation to participate in the training via email from MHFA USA. Please be sure to look for this email and to accept the invitation. Once you accept the invitation, you will receive a second email instructing you to go to the MHFA website and complete the "pre-work." Please be sure to complete this prior to the start of training. It should only take about 15 minutes.
