About This Training

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) provides participants with the knowledge and skills to identify signs of mental health and substance use challenges and respond with compassion and confidence. Through interactive discussion, applied practice and real-world scenarios, participants learn how to start supportive conversations and connect individuals with professional, peers, or self-help resources. This training is invaluable, especially in the workplace where fostering mental wellness is key.

The Wellness Council of Indiana (WCI) delivers the Adult Blended MHFA model, which includes a self-paced online module followed by a live, instructor-led session. Participants who complete the training receive a three-year MHFA certification.
