Register here.
The Adult Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Certification Program is designed to:
- give an overview of the prevalence and impact of mental health problems in the United States;
- outline the signs, symptoms, possible risk factors and warning signs of depression and anxiety;
- introduce the MHFA action plan and how it fits within the array of interventions available to address mental health problems; and
- delineate the role of the Mental Health First Aider.
The program also demonstrates the action plan for someone experiencing depressive or anxiety symptoms and may be in crisis such as suicide or self-injury, plus explores how to respond to someone who is not in crisis but may benefit from the additional steps of the action plan.
Open to undergraduate and graduate nursing students, plus any students from Seton Hall’s general population, such as education or social work students.
