Mental Health First Aid
Teen Mental Health First Aid
Designed for high school students, Teen Mental Health First Aid (tMHFA) teaches teens how to recognize when a friend may be experiencing a mental health or substance-use challenge.
Students learn how to start a supportive conversation, connect a friend with a trusted adult, and encourage them to get help when needed.
The goal is not to make teens counselors—it is to help them notice, support, and connect.
Class Format: 4-hour in-person program delivered over four 1-hour sessions.
Certification: Participants receive a Teen Mental Health First Aid certification from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, which has brought MHFA training to more than 5 million people across the U.S.
Recognize. Reach Out. Connect. Support.

The goal is to build a stronger network of trusted adults around every young person.
Class Format: 8-hour blended program with 2 hours of online self-paced learning and 6 hours of in-person instruction.
