Mental Health First Aider: Why Every Workplace Needs One

Workplace well-being has evolved. Mental health isn’t just a personal issue; it’s a business imperative. Training Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAs) empowers your staff to support their peers and cultivate a culture of compassion.

What Is a Mental Health First Aider?
