I10 - Implementing Mental Health First Aid in Your Community: Success Stories and Tools for Lasting Impact

This session will explore how Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is transforming communities by sharing powerful success stories and data-driven outcomes. Through real-world examples, we will highlight how different communities have effectively implemented MHFA to improve mental health awareness, reduce stigma, and foster a culture of support. Participants will learn about the latest tools and resources designed to help organizations and communities successfully integrate MHFA into their programs, with a focus on the long-term, positive effects on mental health outcomes.

Attendees will hear from community leaders who have used MHFA to create meaningful change in schools, workplaces, faith-based organizations, and more. Practical strategies for embedding MHFA in local settings will be shared, along with data to demonstrate how a well-executed MHFA program can lead to measurable improvements in mental health literacy and community well-being.
