Mental Health First Aid

Winfield, KS

10/26/2021 10:04 AM

You are more likely to encounter someone in an emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack. Learn how to help a friend, family member, coworker or neighbor in need. Get trained in Mental Health First Aid.

Just as CPR helps even those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step action plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support.

Four County Mental Health staff will lead this blended course that includes 2 hours of pre-course work and a 5-hour in-person session.

DATE: Thursday, December 2, 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. (lunch included) Registration requested by Monday, November 15, 2021. Call 620-441-4565 or https://bit.ly/3i5XupF

Wright Room at Brown Center, Cowley College, 215 S 2nd Street, Arkansas City
