About

Become certified in Mental Health First Aid through this 7.5-hour in-person training course. Certification is through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and is active for 3 years. This program is for graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff.

At a research institution where the demands on PhD students, postdoctoral associates, faculty, and staff are high, mental health literacy is impactful. It helps us become better prepared to support colleagues and trainees, contributes to healthier work environments, and reduces stigma around mental health.

Mental Health First Aid is a training that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health and substance abuse challenges. You'll learn: ✅ Common signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges ✅ How to interact with a person in crisis ✅ How to connect a person with help ✅ More about trauma, substance use and self-care
