About Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance misuse.
Mental Health First Aiders learn how to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem, or experiencing a crisis.
Mental Health First Aid certification is good for 3 years, and you are never required to use the training.
Mental Health First Aid USA is managed, operated, and disseminated by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.
The Numbers
20% of the U.S. general population lived with a mental health challenge.1
In late June 2020, 40% of U.S. adults reported struggling with mental health or substance use.2
Depression is one of the leading causes of disability. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. People with severe mental health conditions die prematurely – as much as two decades early – due to preventable physical conditions.3
Since 2000, 5 million people have been trained globally in Mental Health First Aid4, 2.5 million people in the United States.5
Every year, 23 million people are trained globally in First Aid.6
Mental Health First Aid needs to be as accessible as First Aid.
