Identify. Understand. Respond.

Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based course sponsored by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a crisis. The Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI), the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) New Orleans, and Metropolitan Human Services District make up the MHFA Collective of New Orleans.
