This training prepares MH First responders for dispatching to assist folks experiencing mental health episodes and other crises. It includes mental health first aid, basic first aid, and cop watch. No experience necessary. Medical and mental health students and professionals are encouraged to join.

MH First is a project of Anti Police-Terror Project Sacramento. Our purpose is to interrupt and eliminate the need for law enforcement in mental health crisis first response by providing mobile peer support, de-escalation assistance, and non-punitive and life-affirming interventions, therefore decriminalizing emotional and psychological crises and decreasing the stigma around mental health, substance use, and domestic violence, while also addressing their root causes: white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism.

If you are interested in joining the team, but are unable to attend this training, please use this link to provide us with your contact information: bit.ly/volunteer4mhfirst
