Mental Health First Aid (Virtual)

 

General Description
This program will be held in a VIRTUAL FORMAT and requires two hours of pre-course work. Students should be sure to FULLY READ the list of requirements, as well as the prerequisite information, before enrolling.

This course will teach participants to recognize the symptoms of mental health problems, how to offer and provide initial help, and how to guide the individual to professional help, if appropriate. Registration is open to all MPCTC client-agencies, defined as Maryland certified agencies under the regulated authority of the Maryland Police and Corrections Training Commissions (MPCTC).

Attendees are unable to miss more than 30 minutes of instruction of the virtual instructor-led portion of the course. Students that obtain the minimum passing score of 80%, per the National Council for Behavioral Health, and meet the attendance requirement will receive eight (8) hours of in-service training.

Be sure to carefully read the Online Requirements for Virtual Training. A device with a camera & microphone is required to attend this program, and students must be properly visible throughout the course. Furthermore, as with all virtual learning, students are to have reliable internet access, and be in an environment free/limited of distractions while the virtual classroom is in session.

The two (2) hour self-guided portion of the course must be completed three (3) days prior to the virtual instructor-led portion of the course. Students will receive instructions for the required pre-work two weeks prior to the class. The student should ensure time is available to complete the pre-course work before committing to the class.

Due to the pre-course work requirement, the roster will lock 2 weeks prior to the course start date. Students will not be able to be removed or added within 2 weeks of the start date; this rule will be strictly enforced.
