  • Mental Health First Aid Certification at MHANYS

    Mental Health First Aid is a course that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a crisis. It is evidence-based, research-backed and is a public education program designed to demystify mental health, de-stigmatize, and to help you have conversations. If you are interested in providing this to your workplace, please see what we can do for you at MHANYS!

    I am certified to teach Adult Mental Health First Aid, as well as certified in Specialty populations such as Military/Veterans, Rural Communities, Higher Education and Older Adults!
