You may know CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. You can call 911. But can you administer first aid in a mental health crisis? It's easy to tell easy to tell when someone is having a heart attack, is choking, or can't breathe. But what does depression look like? Or Anxiety? What would you say to a person you know who says they are thinking about suicide? How can you help in a panic attack?
Mental Health First Aid in an 8-hour training course that teaches you how to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. People across the country - in all 50 states and the District of Columbia - are trained in Mental Health First Aid. They know how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and addictions. PVFF offers the Adult MHFA, Youth MHFA (for adults about youth 13 - 18), and Public Safety MHFA. Community courses can be found at mhfa.care. If you would like to organize one for your school, business, or church call Donna Dickman at 419-549-8530 x1 to schedule a training designed for your group. |
