Mental Health First Aid 8-hour certificate training gives community members tools to respond to someone in crisis. It also helps participants recognize the signs and symptoms of a developing mental health or substance use problem and offer a bridge to care. Those who receive this certificate training are not taught to diagnose or provide therapy; instead, the program offers concrete tools and answers key questions about what to do and where someone can find help. Available in the US for ten years and managed by the National Council for Behavioral Health, over 1½ million First Aiders have been trained to date. Evidence shows that Mental Health First Aid training increases mental health literacy, confidence in reaching out to those in need, and awareness of local mental health resources.
