Mental Health First Aid is included on SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP).

Adult Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an 8- hour training to teach participants how to help adults who are developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

Additionally, Mental Health First Aid offers a tailored curriculum module that builds upon the effectiveness of the standard Mental Health First Aid curriculum by focusing on the unique experiences and needs of the veteran, service member and family population. You MUST attend the entire session to receive certification.
