Mental Health First Aid Offered by A Better Way
Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour evidence-based training program to train professionals and community providers on how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders. One training focuses on adults ages 18+ and a separate training focuses specifically on the needs of youth ages 12-18. The training covers signs and symptoms of mental illness, including depression and mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, psychosis, substance use, how to interact with a person in crisis, how to connect the person with health, and, for adults, how to administer naloxone in the event of an opioid overdose.

The training can be offered in both English and Spanish.
