WHY: Mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, psychosis and substance use are shockingly common in the United States. In any given year, more than one in five American adults will have a mental health problem. The National Council for Behavioral Health certifies individuals throughout the nation to provide Mental Health First Aid courses to prepare communities with the knowledge and skills to help individuals who are developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. Identified on SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices, the training helps the public better identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses.
