Mental Health First Aid Pricing

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) courses come in many forms. To learn more about our pricing, choose the path that best reflects your needs: 

Training for Individuals

Pricing varies.

Mental Health First Aid does not employ the Instructors it trains and certifies. Each certified MHFA Instructor is free to set their own fees. Course fees vary for many reasons, including course type, Instructor qualifications, course venue, location and catering needs. Community grants may offer subsidies that also affect pricing.

$2,400

for a virtual course

To become an Instructor, candidates complete an application (10-15 minutes), self-paced pre-work (approximately 2 hours), a remote 3-day Instructor-led training, and self-paced post work (1 hour). 

Recertification

$30.95

per person 

To help ensure the lessons from MHFA last a lifetime, we encourage First Aiders to get recertified if they completed the Adult or Youth MHFA course three or more years ago. This keeps you aware of the latest insights on mental health and substance use challenges. You’ll always be ready to provide support to someone in your community who may need it.
