Expand Your Reach with Community-specific Courses

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) USA will be launching a campaign to drive new First Aiders to take community-specific courses. Get certified in the latest curriculum and list your available classes on Find-a-Course within the next few months to take advantage of the increase in traffic and more easily meet your grant funding goals.

We are hosting a “Community Prep” webinar series that will tell you more about the community-specific course that interests you. Each 60-minute session will be co-hosted by the subject matter expert who helped build the content and Paul Lauricella, senior manager of communications, National Council for Mental Wellbeing.

You will learn how to:

  • Identify the unique needs of your audience to achieve a higher quality of interaction
  • Deliver engaging and compelling messages that resonate more deeply with your audience
  • Gain access to updated statistics and scenarios relevant to your community
  • Use community-specific marketing materials provided by MHFA to achieve marketing goals

Register for upcoming webinars or watch past recordings today!

  • Mental Health First Aid training has taught the officer to ask his charges, “What happened?” instead of, “What’s wrong with you?”” –Officer Orlando Singleton
  • So many people are out there wishing for something better, hoping that help will show up. That’s what Mental Health First Aid is – it is help to get people connected to care and ultimately to get them to a better place.” –Tousha Paxton-Barnes, U.S. Army Veteran
  • I wish that every corrections officer could receive Mental Health First Aid training. I believe that our corrections system would be better because of it – the inmates would benefit, the officers would benefit and ultimately our communities would benefit.” –Lt. Virgil Meyer, Lieutenant, Pennsylvania Department of Corrections
  • As adults, we sometimes forget how hard it was being an adolescent. When we see a kid who is just miserable at school, we might think they choose to be that way – or that it’s just part of adolescence. But in fact, they might be in a mental health crisis, one they certainly did not choose and do not want. When a teacher says “how can I be helpful,” that is a powerful question. ” –Alyssa Fruchtenicht, School-Based Mental Health Counselor
