The National Council for Behavioral Health certifies individuals throughout the U.S. to provide Mental Health First Aid courses to prepare their communities with the knowledge and skills to help individuals who are developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis such as depression, anxiety, psychosis and substance abuse. The training helps the public to better identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses.
