When does stress become more than just stress? Would you feel confident enough to approach a friend, family member, co-worker or neighbor who might be struggling and offer help?
Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based course that teaches participants how to recognize when someone might be experiencing a mental health challenge and how to reach out to offer help and find other resources. By raising awareness and understanding of these disorders we can reduce the stigma often associated with seeking resources and care.
**Courses are still being offered virtually. We will begin transitioning back to in-person classes in early fall.**
For virtual courses you will need: a computer or tablet with reliable internet, a webcam, microphone, and speakers.
