The Westfield Chamber, in partnership with Invest Hamilton County and the other Hamilton County Chambers of Commerce, will be hosting a quarterly Mental Health First Aid training focused on employers throughout Hamilton County.

New 2022 Program
Typically, this training costs at least $250-$400 per person, but thanks to support from the Hamilton County Council and Commissioners via the ARPA Committee, this training will only cost $40 per person (includes materials and lunch) throughout 2022 and 2023. Mental Health America of Indiana will conduct training.
