Join us as we kick off the 2023 MHFA Summit! Last year we reimagined the future of MHFA and set a goal to train one out of every 15 people in American to be Mental Health First Aiders. Since then, we’ve gained tremendous momentum. Hear how far we’ve come, and where we’re going.

Learning Objectives:

List three MHFA program updates.
Summarize MHFA program changes coming in the next year.
