In a ceremony held at the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Summit in Philadelphia on May 4, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing recognized the Mental Health Association in New York State, Erborian, the Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council, and five MHFA Instructors and Coordinators for their significant contributions to expanding MHFA’s reach and empowering people across the country to support each other in times of need.
The annual MHFA Impact Awards — Organization of the Year, Partner of the Year, Excellence Award, Instructors of the Year and Coordinator of the Year — celebrate individuals and groups that have demonstrated what it means to be a true leader in changing the conversation surrounding mental health. The primary criteria used to determine the MHFA Impact Award winners include the number of individuals trained in MHFA, measurable impact, and excellence and effectiveness while conducting the training course.
“We are recognizing the 2025 Impact Award winners for their transformative work in bringing Mental Health First Aid training to members of their local communities,” said MHFA Vice President Tramaine EL-Amin. “The National Council is grateful for the support of the Mental Health Association in New York State, Erborian and the Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council. Together, we are committed to reshaping the narrative around mental wellbeing and emphasizing the importance of assisting each other in times of need through MHFA.”
