Did you know that there is first aid for mental health as well as physical health?

Mental Health First Aid provides help to individuals who are experiencing mental health problems or who are in a mental health crisis. Like physical first aid, help is provided until appropriate support is found or until the crisis is resolved.

The Mental Health First Aid for the Veteran Community course is available for free to people who care for, and about Veterans.

If you’ve noticed that a Veteran in your life has not been themselves lately, they may need extra support.

Take time to reach out to those who have served, and make sure they’re okay.
