The Wellness Committee of the Austin Bar is hosting a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training. MHFA is a nationally recognized, evidence-based training that provides people the basic tools to help someone who might be developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. MHFA can save a life, just like CPR can save someone who is having a heart attack.

In this training, you will learn: 

  • Warning signs and risk factors for mental illness
  • Information on sign and symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis and substance use disorder
  • A 5-step action plan to help someone showing signs of mental illness or experiencing a crisis
  • Professional and self-help resources provided

Date: May 15, 2025

Time: 8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
