SUMMARY:Virtual Adult Mental Health First Aid
DESCRIPTION:Registration is required for this event. To register or to learn more\, please click here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/qVvtYR_MSAWaIkMAS9TPiw \nMost of us would know how to help if we saw someone having a heart attack — we’d start CPR or call 9-1-1. But too few of us would know how to respond if we saw someone having a panic attack or showing signs of alcohol use disorder. Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack\, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) teaches you how to assist and support others who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. This evidence-based\, early-intervention course uses community-specific scenarios\, activities and videos to teach the skills needed to recognize and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges as well as how to provide initial support until the person is connected with appropriate professional help. Registration required.
