10 registrants are needed for this class to run. If we do not get 10 registrants we will refund your fee.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the initial help offered to a person developing a mental health challenge or experiencing a mental health crisis. Aiders provide initial support and connect the person in crisis to professional care or remain with the person until the crisis resolves. This training is designed to teach professionals and other caring citizens a 5-step process to provide that initial support. As a participant, you will become more in tune with others' well-being and your own! Participants who complete the online pre-work (2 hours) and post-work (1 hour), in addition to the in-person training, will be certified for 3 years.

Logistics:
2 hours of online pre-work (self-assessment, videos, and quiz) on your own before the training.
5.5 hours of face-to-face, instructor-led training
30-60 minutes of evaluation and exam on your own after the training

Schedule
9:30 am to 3:30 pm with a lunch break
We highly recommend bringing your lunch as the lunch break will only be 30 minutes.

We recommend that NEIU faculty, staff, students, or retirees call to register by phone so we can make sure the discount applies. 773-442-5080.
