Thank you for your interest in our Mental Health First Aid Training offerings. Please see below for an overview of our Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) offerings.
Adult Mental Health First Aid is an early intervention public education program. It teaches people how to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use challenge among adults ages 18 and over. The evidence behind the program demonstrates that it builds mental health literacy, providing an action plan that teaches people to safely and responsibly identify and address a potential mental health or substance use challenge. Mental Health First Aid, sometimes called Adult Mental Health First Aid, is available in English and Spanish.
Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. At KLBRI, we specialize in Tribal and Indigenous Communities.
Participants who complete our training and pass a final exam will receive a certificate of completion and MHFA certification valid for 3 years. Contact us at info@klbri.org to schedule a training for your organization or group.
