GMHEC Well-Being Calendar
Registration is open for Mental Health First Aid
August 26 @ 8:00 am – October 11 @ 5:00 pm
Join Sunny Naughton, owner of Sunshine Silver Linings for this virtual event.
The purpose of MHFA training is to build an empowered community united around mental health care by educating communities, organizations and induviduals in how to address mental health issues effectively. In MHFA classes, people get a better understanding of how to recognize and offer initial aid to someone who may be experiencing a mental health challenge or oncoming crisis.
Attendees explore how to ask if a person is distressed and how to intervene on their behalf. MHFA courses also spell out a clear, five-step action plan to help individuals connect with helpful professionals and peers. The course also covers community resources available, as access to care is a crucial piece of the puzzle.
October 25th from 9am to 3pm. Click here to register. There is no cost to participate.
