Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a globally recognized, evidence-based, skills-based training that teaches participants how to identify, understand, and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges in adults ages 18 and older. Through interactive, scenario-based learning and real-life examples, participants build confidence in recognizing warning signs and risk factors, starting supportive conversations, and practicing effective intervention skills for both crisis and non-crisis situations. This training is offered to adults and results in a Mental Health First Aid certification valid for three years from the training date. The live session is approximately 7 hours and includes scheduled breaks throughout. After registering, participants will receive instructions to complete the required self-paced coursework prior to attending the live Zoom training session. Thanks to a federally-funded grant this training is offered at no cost. Optional donations support DLC’s mission to provide lifesaving and life-changing behavioral health care available to all.

Compassion in Action is a 2-hour, in-person training that empowers our community to take positive action in making a difference in the lives of others. Attendees will learn wellness tips, basics of mental health (including common challenges and warning signs), ways to address concerns with others, and what resources are available for support. This training also features a certification in the evidence-based, nationally recognized, suicide prevention program, QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer), which provides anyone in the community with the confidence and skills needed to help in times of crisis. 

While the training fee is covered through this grant funding, any donation you may choose to make will go directly to the DLC mission to provide life-saving and life-changing behavioral health care through education, prevention, intervention, and treatment available to all.
