Mental Health First Aid Training
January 30 & 31, 2013
Recovery Resources
One in four Americans experience mental illness in their lifetime. Will you be the one who helps?
Although you may be trained in CPR and First Aid, you're much more likely to encounter someone experiencing a mental health crisis than someone having a heart attack.
What if you could help? Mental Health First Aid is a national public education program, similar to CPR and First Aid, that helps members of the public identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders.
Our nationally certified trainers will teach you a five step action plan that will teach you to assess a situation, implement appropriate interventions, and help the person connect with professional care.
You will receive:
- MHFA certification valid for 3 years
- MHFA participant workbook
- Lunch & snacks both days
- 12 hours of continuing education units for HR and social service professionals
What is the cost? Recovery Resources is offering MHFA training for the low price of $175/individual and $125/individual for groups of 5+ who register together. Payment must be made in advance by credit card or check.
We can bring MHFA to you! For your convenience, we offer MHFA training at Recovery Resources offices, in your organization, or anywhere in the community!
