We provide 8-hour Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainings to faith communities. This education training program targets the faith community to educate them about mental health/substance use disorders in order to help the congregation and the overall community.

These trainings are designed to increase the mental health literacy within Cuyahoga County faith communities. The program will build or expand the capacity of the faith community to detect and respond to behavioral health issues negatively impacting congregants in order to connect those individuals with these issues to needed services. We seek to establish knowledgeable and qualified individuals within each congregation that will be available to assist individuals and family members seeking recovery, every step of the way.

To complete this 8-hour training participants must attend all four trainings in a series.
