Minimum-five-learner notice

Five registered and paid learners are required for a session to proceed.

Registration reserves a learner’s seat, but the session is confirmed only after at least five learners have registered and paid. Payment is due upon registration, and registered learners receive confirmation and course-access instructions once payment is received.

Each public session is limited to a maximum of 30 learners. If the minimum enrollment is not reached, registered learners are contacted regarding available options under WVW’s cancellation and rescheduling policy.

How public sessions are scheduled. Public sessions run on a Tuesday or Saturday during the third week of the month, from 10:00 a.m.–6:30 p.m. Eastern, at $225 per learner, with five paid learners required and a maximum of 30 learners. Organizations needing a different date can request a private or group session.

What Adult MHFA teaches

Notice concerns. Respond with care. Connect people to help.

Practical initial support

Adult Mental Health First Aid teaches learners how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance-use challenges.

Learners practice an action plan for approaching someone, listening without judgment, offering reassurance, and encouraging appropriate professional, peer, or community support.

Clear role boundaries

Mental Health First Aid does not train learners to diagnose, provide therapy, or replace emergency or clinical services.

It builds confidence to recognize possible concerns, respond appropriately, and support connection to further help.
