Mental Health First aid

help heal mental health

Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour training to teach participants how to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The evidence behind the program demonstrates that it helps trainees identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders.

With facilitation support from the United Methodist Church, this nationally certified course is being offered through the YMCA of Middle Tennessee for $50 per participant. (the Nov. 7 class costs $75 per participant with a catered lunch included). Y members receive a $10 discount on all of our MHFA classes, so be sure to check out membership options today! 

The 8-hour training includes two hours of online pre-work and six hours of live training either via Zoom or in-person. Please register below for one of our next classes, and keep in mind that space is limited with all reservations due two weeks prior to each class.
