Abstract
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) has become a trend that is taking over the medical and mental health world. While there areseveral manuscripts that are exemplifying the benefits of MHFA, the implications for people who undergo the MHFA training,for mental health services and medical and non-medical professions devoted to mental healthcare, have been ignored. In this shortcommunication, we are arguing against MHFA not because we believe that the scheme is not beneficial, but more as a criticalreflection as to where MHFA should stand in the mental health world, and how it should serve the people as a communityinvestment company.
