Mental health is just as vital to human success as physical health and Goldilockx Yoga is proud to offer you the ability to become certified as a Mental Health First Aider.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a national certification through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. MHFA started in Australia in 2000 and is currently in over 30 countries. Please visit https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org for more information.

MHFA is not about diagnosing or treating anyone. It’s about noticing the signs and symptoms of someone experiencing a mental health challenge, substance abuse issue, or suicidal thoughts - and knowing what to say and what to not say to encourage that person to seek appropriate help.

The training can be offered virtually, in-person, or a blend of both. The blended version is the most popular and it consists of a couple hours of online pre-work and a 6-hour in-person training session.

The $150 per attendee class fee covers the licensing fee to MHFA, class materials, and training fee.

The minimum class size is 10 attendees and the maximum is 30 attendees. The class content is comprised of three main learning methods:

-PowerPoint presentation material

-Videos

-Interactive group exercises

Please contact me directly to learn more about how you can bring this impactful training to your company, church, or community organization. We all need to work together to reduce the stigma of mental health.
