Congratulations to those who participated in Mental Health First Aid this year!

Each participant gained practical tools to recognize the signs of mental health challenges, start supportive conversations, and connect others to help.

From classrooms to first response, MHFA is strengthening our community’s ability to respond with empathy and understanding, one trained neighbor at a time.

Across classrooms and communities, our education programs are changing how young people think about mental health.

From stress management to self-care and peer support, students are gaining tools to recognize their emotions, help friends in need, and speak openly about mental health without fear or stigma.

Each presentation sparks understanding, empathy, and hope.

Together we’re helping build a generation that sees seeking help as strength, not weakness.
