Members of the Case Western Reserve University community are invited to join University Health and Counseling Services for Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) instructor training, which will take place from Monday, Aug. 11, to Thursday, Aug. 14.

This in-person event will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day in the Tinkham Veale University Center. To earn a certification, participants must complete the following requirements:

Attend and complete all four days of instructor training;

Facilitate at least three MHFA trainings within the first year of certification; and

Conduct at least one training for the CWRU community each following academic year.

Prior to registering as a MHFA instructor, faculty and staff must receive supervisor approval and confirm whether training and future facilitation will count as work time or require the use of vacation or personal time off. Preference will be given to students who will be on campus for two or more years.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable skills, help reduce stigma around mental health, and play a key role in supporting your peers. If interested in participating, you must complete an interest form by Monday, July 28. Space is limited. You will be notified if you have been selected for the training by Aug. 4.
