In a MHFA course, people learn how to notice signs of mental health or substance use challenges. They also learn how to give support and help someone find the right kind of care. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course teaches the MHFA Action Plan (ALGEE). This is a set of steps you can use in any order to support someone who may be going through a tough time. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training helps take the fear or worry out of talking about mental health. When more people know how to start these conversations, more people can get the help they need. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
