Mental Health First Aid

  • Friday, Nov. 20, 2026
  • 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
  • El Centro

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. The training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a crisis.

Just like certification for CPR or first aid, MHFA allows participants to receive a certification in Mental Health First Aid training.

Location: El Centro Campus, Room C370

This event is hosted by Dallas College Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). CAPS provides free mental health counseling services to Dallas College students.
