Mental Health First Aid Training Sometimes, first aid isn’t a bandage, or CPR, or the Heimlich, or calling 911. Sometimes, first aid is YOU! Someone you know could be experiencing a mental illness or crisis. You can help them. You are more likely to encounter someone in an emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack — a friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, or member of the community. Mental Health First Aid teaches a 5-step action plan to offer initial help to people with signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in a crisis and connect them with the appropriate professional, peer, social or self-help care. Anyone can take the 8-hour Mental Health First Aid course — first responders, teachers, faith community leaders, human resources professionals, caring citizens. Take the course, save a life, strengthen your community. Training Provided by:
