Mental Health First Aid – Help with issues of wellbeing
The Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) team at the University of Tüingen offers confidential and uncomplicated first aid in cases of mental distress and crises. MHFA first aiders are not therapists, but they can help identify the right support to address your needs.
All MHFA first aiders have completed the MHFA programme at the Central Institute for Mental Health Mannheim and successfully passed the exam.
