Human Development and Relationships
Human Development & Relationships programs enrich families and strengthen communities. Backed by university research, we work for Wisconsin families.
Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a program designed to teach participants how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health concerns or illness and substance use disorders. The program provides participants with the skills and confidence to provide initial support to those experiencing a crisis. Through evidence-based practices, MHFA equips individuals with practical skills to offer initial assistance and guide individuals towards appropriate care.
The Adult MHFA curriculum focuses on identifying signs of mental health or substance use concerns in adults aged 18 and older. The Youth MHFA curriculum was developed for adults to support the young people in their lives, while the Teen MHFA curriculum empowers teenagers to support their peers. These programs ensure comprehensive readiness for various mental health situations, promoting resilience and enhancing mental well-being across diverse communities. Mental Health First Aid programs also seek to reduce the stigma around mental health concerns and in turn increase conversations and access to appropriate care and supports.
