FREE Certification Opportunity - MHFA

The entire OEE team has completed the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training and agree it is as valuable as CPR training. MHFA is a globally applied training program that helps the participant learn how to support individuals who may be facing mental health crises including panic attacks, suicidal ideation, non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors, opiate overdose, and acute psychosis. A positive of the MHFA program is the emphasis on self-care for the mental health first aider. 

The grant-funded virtual courses are open to any healthcare professional in Wisconsin through June 2024. There is no cost to obtain this three-year certification. Use the link below to sign up. Note: new course dates are added approximately one month in advance.
