Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an inexpensive and highly successful approach to mental illness. It is intended to be comparable to physical "first aid."
Critically, it is designed for non-mental health professionals such as first responders -- fire fighters, police officers, educators, but also parents, religious leaders, teenagers and others.
The MHFA course is brief and inexpensive.But the potential for providing "first aid" to individuals with mental illness is extraordinary.
Mental Health First Aid may be our last best hope to help millions of Americans by providing "first aid" skills to millions more.
