Someone you know may need mental health assistance, you could have the skills to help them get connected.
You are more likely to encounter someone - friend family member, coworker, neighbor or community member - in an emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack.
Mental Health First Aid teaches a 5-step action plan to offer initial help to people with the signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in a crisis and connect them with the appropriate help. Anyone can take the 8-hour course - first responders, students, teachers, faith leaders, human resources professionals and caring citizens. The course teaches participants how to, among other things:* Identify when a person is experiencing a mental health problem* Select and implement appropriate interventions* Secure appropriate care for a person experiencing a mental health problemIn addition, participants learn about warning signs and risk factors for depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, psychotic disorders, eating disorders and substance abuse disorders. Each participant receives an evidenced based manual to reinforce content of the 8-hour, interactive training, a list of local resources, and a certificate of attendance. (Great for resumes!)
