NCT ID NCT06290180
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a training program called First Face for Mental Health, designed for staff at a Native American healing lodge. The training teaches people how to spot and respond to mental health crises and connect others to help. Researchers surveyed 92 trainees before, right after, and three months after the training to see if it improved their knowledge, attitudes, and confidence.
