What you learn

In just one hour, learners get the foundational knowledge and skills they need to recognize, manage, and prevent mental illness.

The program includes MHL (mental health literacy) assessments which helps organizations like K-12 schools understand the knowledge gaps in their communities and how to direct future programming. After implementing the Basics program, organizations can adopt Foundations (mental health curriculum) to address the knowledge gaps discovered through the assessments.
