MHFA is a course that provides participants experiences to explore, understand, and respond to signs of mental health challenges and substance use problems. By improving participants' noticing skills and communication strategies we can create a network of Mental Health First Aiders across EMCC to address the growing needs of our students and colleagues.

Part Three reviews and guides participants to solidify plans for self-care that promotes resilience, mental health, and total well-being.  Part Three also engages participants in a discussion of the final steps to complete MHFA certification and build the EMCC MHFA support network.
