Mental Health First Aid training helps a person with no clinical training assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge or crisis.

Participants are introduced to risk factors and warning signs, engage in experiential activities, discuss relevant professional and self-help resources, and learn a 5-step strategy to provide support. Mental Health First Aid for higher education provides tailored content for members of the higher education community.

*Mental Health First Aid is also available by request for departments and student groups by emailing wellness@colorado.edu.
