Mental health awareness starts with you

NCPA May 6, 2025

Pharmacies are on the front lines of patient care, and it's not uncommon to meet patients going through mental health challenges, whether seen or unseen. You can help contribute to awareness of mental health issues, and prepare your pharmacy to help patients experiencing mental health crises, by using the resources NCPA provides for pharmacies.

One in-depth way to prepare your pharmacy for these patient encounters is through our Mental Health First Aid program, which teaches you how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among adults. We're next holding the training on June 11, and registration closes on June 4 at noon ET.
