This just in! 🚨🚨 In an effort to assist universities in supporting their athletes’ mental health, NCAA Division III is working with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing to offer fully funded Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) for Higher Education training to institutions across the division, with a focus on head coaches and athletic trainers.
MHFA for Higher Education is an evidence-based, interactive program that teaches individuals how to recognize signs and symptoms of common mental health and substance use challenges, use the five-step MHFA Action Plan (ALGEE), interact with someone in crisis, connect student-athletes with the help they need, and practice self-care to support themselves and others.
Through this program, up to 30 individuals at each active Division III school are eligible to participate in a 7½-hour, in-person training with expert MHFA instructors on their campus. Upon completion, participants will be certified in MHFA for Higher Education for three years.
