January 29, 2026 - Mental Health First Aid Training

January 29, 2026 - Mental Health First Aid Training
Pharmacists and pharmacy team members are more likely to need to respond to a mental health episode than to a situation requiring basic life support or CPR. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training, therefore, could be considered more important than CPR training. MHFA teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among adults.


The training covers:

  • Common signs and symptoms of mental health challenges.
  • Common signs and symptoms of substance use challenges.
  • How to interact with a person in crisis.
  • How to connect a person with help. 
  • Expanded content on trauma, substance use, and self-care.

This is a blended learning course. Learners must complete a 2-hour, self-paced online course and participate in a 6.5-hour, instructor-led training held virtually through Zoom. This training is accredited for pharmacist and technician continuing education through ACPE. Full CE details can be accessed https://ncpa.org/mental-health-first-aid
