“Each class is a step toward realizing the profound difference you can make in someone’s life.”
MHFA Instructor Sydney Snow
“The simple act of giving them hope that people with mental health or substance use challenges can recover motivates me every day. And when training ends at 5:30 p.m., the knowledge that 15 or 20 or 25 more people are able to help others gives me inexplicable satisfaction.”
MHFA Instructor Pepe Juelle
“Although I am not a teacher by profession, I appreciate being able to teach and empower individuals with MHFA so they can support those around them.”
