NCCMH offering FREE Mental Health First Aid Classes!
February 6 is the first class
North Country Community Mental Health (NCCMH) announced its 2026 free online Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training schedule for the community.
MHFA is an evidence-based, early-intervention course used around the world which is designed for people with little to no knowledge of mental health issues, and is a beneficial tool for employers, human resource professionals, faith-based leaders, first responders, community groups, teachers, coaches, and others.
Mental health problems covered in the course include substance abuse, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders. Crisis situations covered in the course include suicidal behavior, overdoses, panic attacks, reactions to traumatic events, and psychotic episodes.
The adult MHFA course will be offered virtually by NCCMH clinicians on three dates in 2026: February 6, May 1, and August 14. The eight-hour course will be held on Zoom from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM.
Initially funded with a grant from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, NCCMH is continuing to provide this benefit to the community at no charge to residents of NCCMH’s six-county service area (Antrim, Cheboygan, Charlevoix, Emmet, Kalkaska, and Otsego) in order to increase knowledge of mental health issues among community members and increase their abilities to help others.
