Mental Health First Aid Training
Mental Health First Aid Training
Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.
The upcoming training sessions are open to all SHU faculty, staff and students. Approximately 1 month prior to the training session, hyperlinks below will be live to sign up.
