Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the support provided to a person who may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis.

•    Reach out to these supports
•    Assist in a mental health or substance use crisis
•    Use MHFA actions to maintain one’s own mental well-being
