Topics Covered
Depression and mood disorders
Anxiety disorders
Trauma
Psychosis
Substance Use Disorders
Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency the belief that individuals experiencing these challenges can and do get better, and use their strengths to stay well.
Interventions Learned
When you take a course, you learn how to apply the Mental Health First Aid action plan in a variety of situations, including when someone is experiencing:
-Panic attacks
-Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
-Nonsuicidal self-injury
-Acute psychosis (e.g., hallucinations or delusions)
-Overdose or withdrawal from alcohol or drug use

The opportunity to practice through role plays, scenarios, and activities makes it easier to apply these skills in a real-life situation.
