If someone had a heart attack, you would probably know to call for help— or maybe perform CPR if you’re trained. But, what if someone was having a panic attack, experiencing suicidal thoughts, or showing signs of severe anxiety or depression? You never know when someone might need you to help them.

MHFA is a training program designed to teach everyday people how to recognize, respond to, and support someone experiencing a mental health crisis.
