Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Training for NLA/GCSW Students

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a course that teaches you how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders.

This training has two required components:

• 2 hours of self-paced online learning to be completed at least 24 hours prior to the in-person instructor-led session

• In-person instructor-led session on Friday, November 20, 2026 from 9:30am-4:00pm at the GCSW
