Mental Health First Aid Training

NHBSR is partnering with The Richards Group in offering Mental Health First Aid Training

An enterprise-level approach to mental health awareness and training aims to improve early recognition and encourage help-seeking, enhancing utilization of timely, appropriate support, in hopes of limiting the impact mental health issues can have on the work environment. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an evidence-based training program administered by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges.
