Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Mental Health First Aid USA is a alive training program - like regular First Aid or CPR - designed to give ordinary people the skills to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

Mental Health First Aid teaches participants a five-step action plan, ALGEE, to support someone developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in an emotional crisis:

• Assess for risk of suicide or harm
• Listen non-judgmentally
• Give reassurance and information
• Encourage appropriate professional help
• Encourage self-help and other support strategies.

VIRTUAL TRAINING | 3 hours

COHEN MILITARY FAMILY CLINIC 

Reducing access to lethal means, such as firearms and medication, can determine whether a person at risk for suicide lives or dies. This interactive  online course from the Cohen Military Family Clinic focuses on how to reduce access to the methods people use to kill themselves. 

It covers how to: (1) identify people who could benefit from lethal means counseling, (2) ask about their access to lethal methods, and (3) work with them—and their families—to reduce access.

Class is intended for individuals 18+
