Join us as we kick off the 2022 Instructor Summit! The last two years have been full of ups, downs and everything in between. We released our 2nd edition curriculum, which included new formats for teaching blended in-person and virtually. We launched an learning management system (LMS), retired an LMS and now have MHFA Connect. We launched teen MHFA! All of this while you were continuing to teach and grow MHFA in your communities.

Learning Objectives:

List three Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program updates.
Summarize MHFA program changes coming in the next year.
Describe some examples of success with implementing and teaching MHFA during the last two years.
