SUMMARY:Mental Health First Aid- August 2022
DESCRIPTION:Mental Health First Aiders are neighbors\, parents\, coworkers\, parish leaders and friends. Anyone who wants to make their community healthier\, safer and more supportive can become a First Aider. \nOur training removes the fear and hesitation around talking about mental health. We provide tools that empower people to start meaningful conversations\, so that more individuals can receive compassionate\, stigma‑free support. First Aiders serve as a vital link between those facing a mental health or substance use challenge and the help they need. Mental Health First Aid was created in 2001in Australia by Betty Kitchener\, a nurse specializing in health education\, and Anthony Jorm\, a mental health literacy professor. MHFA USA adapted the program and brought it to the United States in 2008. \nMore than 91 peer‑reviewed studies have demonstrated that MHFA is effective. People trained in MHFA:\nShow reduced stigma and increased empathy toward individuals experiencing mental health challenges\nUnderstand the signs\, symptoms\, and risk factors of mental health and substance use conditions\nDemonstrate greater confidence and willingness to help someone in distress\nUse their skills and knowledge as First Aiders to support their own mental wellbeing\nWe are pleased to offer Adult Mental Health First Aid and Youth Mental Health First Aid (for youth leaders) trainings at no cost. \nPlease click the application link and select the class\, date\, and time that work best for you. In the top right corner of the form\, you may choose either English or Spanish—classes are available in both languages. \nYou will receive a certification for this course.
