Mental Health First Aid Certification

Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid for Adults course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.

CCRI is pleased to have several certified instructors in Mental Health First Aid to be able to offer this training to the CCRI community.
