Training Community Members in Mental Health First Aid
The purpose of this study is to train Church Leaders and other community members in Mental
Health First Aid (MHFA), which is an evidence-based public mental health education program.
MHFA has been found to improve people's recognition of emotional and mental health challenges
and to increase people's confidence in providing help to others. Information about MHFA can

learn the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems, and learn a 5-step action plan
to help someone in an emotional crisis.
Participants ware recruited from faith-based organizations (i.e., churches), health care
organizations (i.e., hospitals), and other community based organizations. There will be no
treatment directly provided as part of this study.
