Description
Just as physical first aid helps save lives during medical emergencies, mental health first aid equips you to support someone experiencing psychological distress or crisis. This course provides the skills and confidence needed to recognize signs of common mental health challenges—including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance misuse—and respond in ways that are empathetic, safe, and effective. You’ll learn how to offer immediate support, de-escalate crises, and guide someone to appropriate professional help. The course emphasizes the importance of nonjudgmental listening, setting boundaries, and understanding your role as a supporter rather than a fixer. You’ll also explore cultural sensitivity, self-care for supporters, and legal/ethical considerations. Suitable for educators, managers, caregivers, or anyone who wants to help, this course empowers everyday people to become mental health allies and create safer, more supportive communities.
