In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, CTS Consulting
and Breathe Non-Profit are offering FREE* Adult Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)
certification training for the community.
Similar to traditional First Aid and CPR, Mental Health First Aid
(certified by The
National Council for Behavioral Health) is help provided to a person developing a mental health problem
or experiencing a crisis until professional treatment is obtained or the crisis
resolves. Mental health challenges – such as depression, anxiety,
psychosis and substance use – are shockingly common in the United States. In
fact, more than one in five American adults will have a mental health problem in
any given year.
Upon completion of this
certification course, Mental Health First Aiders will be able to:
·
better recognize signs and
symptoms shown and expressed by people experiencing a mental health disorder
and or crisis;
·
provide appropriate support
until treatment or further assistance is available;
·
help remove the stigma of
mental illness and demystify the topic of mental health.
Upon successful completion of the class, participants will receive a 3-year certification from the National Council for Behavioral Health. Lunch and light refreshments will be provided.
