Become Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Certified

Mental Health First Aid is a training course that teaches individuals how to help those struggling with their mental health. This class will teach your crew how to recognize the signs and symptoms, have impactful conversations, and provide appropriate professional help to a person experiencing a mental health challenge.

Once a construction professional is MHFA certified, they receive a 4x5 Ambassador sticker that can be placed on their hard hat, indicating to their team that they are there to offer support and resources during difficult times. This initiative aims to promote the mental well-being of crews and end suicides in the construction industry for good.
