“The National Council is thrilled to announce the training of the 10,000th Mental Health First Aid instructor. This is a milestone for Mental Health First Aid USA. Instructors are the backbone of the Mental Health First Aid movement, working with us to reach the goal of training 1 million Americans and making Mental Health First Aid as common as CPR,” said Linda Rosenberg, president and CEO of the National Council for Behavioral Health, which helped bring Mental Health First Aid to the United States in 2008. “I’m personally proud that my home state, New York, is the site of this event and congratulate Glenn Liebman, CEO, Mental Health Association in New York State, Inc., for his Mental Health First Aid leadership.”
In just eight years, Mental Health First Aid has become a full-blown movement in the United States – more than 660,000 people are trained in Mental Health First Aid, and that number is growing every day.
