Mental Health First Aid Training (with the United Way of Clinton County)

The United Way of Clinton County invites you to a FREE Mental Health First Aid Training on May 13, 2026. 

Mental Health First Aid is a live training program — like regular First Aid or CPR — designed to give people the skills to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

The course uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to recognize and respond to the warning signs of specific illnesses. Should this opportunity spike your interest, our agency is providing a training for you. We would love for you to be a part of it. 

Logistics: 

The in-person portion of the class will take place on May 13th from 9:00AM - 3:30PM at the Clinton Commons Community Room, 100 Commons Lane, Wilmington, OH. Lunch will be provided. 

Your blended class includes a required 2-hour pre-work assignment that must be completed prior to the start of the live training. The pre-work is self-paced, and you will receive directions on how to complete this approximately two weeks prior to your training date via a calendar invitation for the class.

Why attend?

You are one step closer to becoming one of 3 million Americans who are certified in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), an evidence-based course that will teach you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders in real, actionable ways.

You will:

·       Grow in your knowledge of signs, symptoms and risk factors 

·       Identify multiple types of professional and self-help resources

·       Increase your confidence in and likelihood to help an individual in distress

·       Show increased mental wellness yourself 

·       Help reduce negative attitudes and perceptions 

Next Steps: 

After you submit your registration, you will receive your first informational email confirming your registration and giving you an opportunity to learn more about MHFA. 

Approximately 2 weeks prior to the start of your training you will receive a calendar invitation with all your class details and an introduction to your instructors. 

The week of your training your instructors will send emails confirming the class details and preparing you for the day-of logistics for your training.

You will also get emails from National Council's system so be prepared for a lot of reminders!
Thank you again for registering to take Mental Health First Aid!

Cancellation Policy:

Should you need to cancel, please give as much notice as possible. No-shows on the day of training may result in a charge as your spot has been reserved at a $170/value. Funding is limited, so a cancelled class means fewer people can receive this special training at no cost to them.
