“First Aid” Training Helps People Deal with Mental State of Others
Do you work with the public? Have you ever felt the frustration of trying to understand the mental condition of someone who is behaving differently than expected?
This is just the kind of situation that Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training can prepare you to understand.
MHFA is an interactive public education program that helps people identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders. Those who take the 12-hour certification course learn a 5-step action plan to help an individual in crisis connect with appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-help care.
The training is conducted by Linden Oaks at Edward Hospital and is hosted by the Grundy County Health Department and the Behavioral Health Alliance of Grundy County.
