Grow compassion for, awareness of mental health challenges

NCPA February 23, 2026

Pharmacies are on the front lines of patient care, and it's not uncommon to meet patients going through mental health episodes. One way you can help contribute to awareness of mental health issues, and prepare your pharmacy to help patients experiencing mental health crises, is our Mental Health First Aid program.

The program teaches you how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among adults. An added bonus: Thanks to the support of the Cardinal Health Foundation, we are able to offer a $50 discount on all registration fees. Registration closes March 11 for the next session, which will take place Dec. 15. Register here.
