Mental Health First Aid
Learn How to Help Others in Crisis
Just as CPR helps you assist someone having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency – the belief that individuals experiencing these challenges can and do get better, and use their strengths to stay well.
You can take a one-day Mental Health First Aid certification training right here on campus.
Cost (covers workbook and certification fee): Fee is currently waived for CU Denver students and faculty/staff
