SUMMARY:Adult Mental Health First Aid

These trainings are open to Vermonters and those that serve and support Vermonters and there are 30 spots in each class\, grant-funded by Vermont Care Partners. \nBefore the events in the winter\, beginning in Mid-January and Mid- February depending on the course you have signed up for\, information will be shared to complete 1-2 hours of pre-work before the live Zoom session.

MHFA courses also spell out a clear\, five-step action plan to help individuals connect with helpful professionals and peers. The course also covers community resources available\, as access to care is a crucial piece of the puzzle. \nYouth Mental Health First Aid focuses on Adults helping youth ages 6 to 18 and Adult Mental Health First Aid focuses on Adults helping other Adults. There is also a teen program which is available after a school or youth serving organization invests time in taking yMHFA.
