MHAT
Serving Herkimer County
The Mental Health Awareness Training Program is a program of Catholic Charities of Herkimer County and is made possible by grant #1H79S084276-01 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA).
MHAT offers a wide range of mental health and suicide education training courses designed to meet the needs of individuals, organizations, and businesses. We believe that education is the key to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide, and we are committed to provide quality training. We are passionate about making a difference in the community and helping individuals to lead healthier, happier lives.
