MHFA is a skills-based training that teaches participants how to identify, understand, and respond to someone who is experiencing a mental health or substance use problem without taking on the role of a mental health professional. In addition to recognizing risk factors and warning signs of mental illnesses, MHFA offers a 5-step action plan for offering help, which includes identification of resources for further support.
