Mental Health First Aid India is the only licenced body to manage and deliver the Standard Mental Health First Aid training and Instructors training in India.

Mental Health problems are more common than we think! 1 in 10 Indian experience a mental health problem in life and 1 in 20 suffers from Depression (NMHS 2016). Just like physical illnesses, mental health problems have a huge impact on our lives. The concept of Mental Health First Aid is that, people should learn how to perform basic ‘first aid’ for those showing signs of mental health distress, just as they learn first aid for physical conditions.
