Adult Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Workshop
Be the One Who Makes a Difference — Learn to Help Someone in Crisis
At Humans at Help Foundation (HAHF), we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health, and knowing how to respond in a mental health emergency can save lives. Our Adult Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Workshop equips everyday people with the skills to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use challenges.
This nationally recognized program is designed for community members, family caregivers, educators, volunteers, and anyone looking to support the well-being of those around them.
✅ Recognize early warning signs of mental health conditions
✅ Respond effectively in crisis situations
✅ Guide individuals to professional support
✅ Learn self-care strategies while helping others
🧠 No background in mental health? No problem. We’ll teach you how to be the calm in someone else’s storm.
