Mental Health First Aid Training

Next date: Friday, September 25, 2026 | 08:30 AM to 05:00 PM

Just as CPR prepares you to help someone having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge or crisis.

This free, full-day training is designed for farmers, agribusiness workers and anyone who lives in or serves rural communities, including civic and faith leaders, healthcare providers and neighbors.

Participants will build confidence in recognizing the signs of a mental health or substance use challenge and learn how to offer meaningful support.

What to Expect

• Participants who complete the course will receive a certificate of completion.
• The training includes a 30-minute lunch break and several short breaks throughout the day.
• Lunch and refreshments will be provided at no cost.
• Seating is limited to 30 participants.

Required Online Training

Once registered, participants will receive access to a two-hour, self-paced online learning module and quiz. The module and quiz must be completed before attending the in-person training.
