Toni Holmes

Toni Holmes, Director, Talent Management, Rockdale County, Georgia

“We brought it into all our trainings — public safety, supervisors, leadership. MHFA provided a different level of support alongside the Employee Assistance Program.”

Alyssa Fruchtenich

School-based Mental Health Coordinator, UnityPoint Health

“It can be scary for an adult who suspects a child is thinking of hurting themselves. Where do you start the conversation? When a teacher says, ‘How can I be helpful?’ it can be a lifeline to that kid.” 

Nikki Karber

President, Speak Out Against Suicide

“Our small community has been greatly affected by suicide. While mental health is a topic that many wish to not discuss, we feel that Mental Health First Aid was essential in bringing the knowledge and awareness our community is striving for. Without it, we would have continued to feel helpless.”

Captain Joseph Coffey

Ret., Rhode Island Municipal Police Academy and MHFA National Trainer

“My Mental Health First Aid training helped me save a life, and regular incidents serve as reminders of how public safety officers fall back on their training in times of crisis.” 

Ruth Kaluski

Director of Career Connection, Employment Resource Institute at the Mental Health Association in New Jersey

“People who completed the older adult training found it extremely valuable. That’s helped us build a case for the need to increase mental health literacy and reduce stigma in New Jersey’s communities.” 

Pepe Juelle

Desarrollador de negocios, Olympic Agency, S.A.; Instructor de PASM

“Mi mayor inspiración para continuar ofreciendo estos adiestramientos y capacitando a personas comunes es saber que estoy ayudando, directa o indirectamente, a los pacientes de salud mental. No hay mayor satisfacción que culminar un adiestramiento a las 5:30 p.m. y ver la expresión de los participantes al salir felices, con una mochila repleta de herramientas

Join the movement to make mental wellbeing a reality for all. Whether you’re one person or a whole team, you can take the next step with MHFA.
