The Woodlands, TX, Feb. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Axiom Medical and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing are proud to announce a new partnership within the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Impact Network. Together, they will expand access to the National Council’s workplace-focused MHFA curriculum, MHFA at Work, to their clients’ employee population who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge or crisis and connect them with appropriate employee and community resources.

Axiom Medical and the National Council are committed to providing organizations with the resources and support they need to take the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health and substance use challenges. MHFA at Work will help improve employee understanding of mental health and substance use challenges in the workplace and learn an Action Plan that will help them safely and responsibly identify and respond to a potential challenge or crisis.
