Is your Team Mental Health First Aid Certified?

On February 8, 2024 by Anna Mowry

The final sessions of virtual Mental Health First Aid training are being offered at no cost to LeadingAge Minnesota members this Spring.

Like CPR training, the eight-hour Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course prepares people to be the first line of support in a crisis—to identify, understand, and guide others to mental health resources. Over the past two years, the LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation has sponsored over 250 aging services professionals to attend MHFA training.

Don’t wait—Space and sessions are limited, so register now. Participants should only register for one session. By registering, you are agreeing to virtually attend and fully participate on the selected session date.
