Mental Health First Aid Training
As a follow-up to Wright State University’s safety notification review, University employees can register for Mental Health First Aid Training sponsored by Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services and Wright State University.
All employees must complete this training.
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid helps to teach individuals how to assist and support others who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based practice training offered virtually and in-person and uses community-specific scenarios, activities, and videos to teach the skills needed to recognize and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges as well as how to provide initial support until they are connected with appropriate professional help.
Requirements
Each employee must register for one of the trainings offered and complete the pre-work at least 24 hours before the class date. If pre-work is not completed, the employee cannot attend the training.
After the training, the employee will complete an evaluation and receive a certificate. Once trained, the employee will be certified in Mental Health First Aid for three years.
If you are already certified in Mental Health First Aid and your certification is still active (less than three years), you do not have to attend.
Length of the Training
Mental Health First Aid training is a 7-hour course.
