Mental Health First Aid - Adult

Mental Health First Aid is a course that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a crisis.  Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.

Join us as we explore better ways to understand how to treat one another while living with mental illness.  This course is a three-year certification!  Mental Health First Aid for Youth will be scheduled on a different date.  

Cost includes participant manual, breakfast and lunch.
