Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)

Kevin Bozymski, PharmD, BCPS, BCPP, along with Himanshu Agrawal, MBBS, DF-APA, through a grant from the Kern Institute, have challenged themselves to provide Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training to 1,000 health care workers across six sites in Wisconsin.

MHFA is a globally applied training program that helps the participant learn how to support individuals who may be facing mental health crisis including suicidal ideation, non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors, opiate overdose, panic attacks and acute psychosis. One positive of this program is the emphasis on self-care for the mental health first aid caregiver.

Kevin Bozymski, PharmD, is an Assistant Professor at the MCW School of Pharmacy as well as the School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Medicine.
