Elevate’s Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Certification program uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to offer initial help in a mental health crisis and connect persons to the appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-help care. The program also teaches the common risk factors and warning signs of specific types of illnesses. This course is eligible for 6.5 CEU credit hours.
Mental Health First Aid teaches participants a five-step action plan, ALGEE, to support someone
developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in an emotional crisis:
• Assess for risk of suicide or harm
• Listen nonjudgmentally
• Give reassurance and information
• Encourage appropriate professional help
• Encourage self-help and other support strategies
Like CPR, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person in crisis and connect the
person with help. First Aiders do not take on the role of professionals — they do not diagnose or provide
any counseling or therapy.
Instead, the program offers concrete tools and answers key questions, like “what do I do?” and “where
can someone find help?”
Elevate BDG Certified Mental Health First Aid instructors provide a list of community healthcare
providers and national resources, support groups, and online tools for mental health and addictions
treatment and support.
All trainees receive a program manual to compliment the course material and will receive a certificate
issued by Mental Health First Aid USA.

Today’s professionals are expected to communicate effectively, and writing plays a vital role in how one’s work is presented to colleagues, subordinates, and the community as a whole. This course is designed to teach participants how the tools needed to complement their reader’s level of understanding, methods of getting past writer’s block, critical thinking skills to write effective documents, and much more.
Successful leaders can connect authentically, build confidence in others, and inspire and motivate people into action.

Talking about mental health in the workplace isn’t easy. Given the mental health statistics in the U.S. and our experience with the pandemic, we know these discussions are critical. Supporting mental health in the workplace goes beyond offering programs and apps. Leaders play a crucial role in setting the tone and sending the message that our emotional wellness is just as important as our physical wellness. This training will help leaders recognize the significance of their role in creating a work environment that can positively or negatively impact their employees’ overall physical and mental health.
