The evidence behind the program demonstrates that it helps faculty and staff identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders.

In addition to the impact of military service on the veteran, each has a circle of family and friends who are also impacted by their military service. 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.

In this MHFA training, you will learn:
