Adult Mental Health First Aid 

Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack — even if you have no clinical training — Adult Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health 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.

Led by:

Darrin Miller, director, child & adolescent intensive services & Kevin Farmwald, Oaklawn coordinator of spiritual care

As a result of this training you will:

• Recognize the potential risk factors and warning signs for a range of mental health problems, including: depression, anxiety/trauma, psychosis and psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, and self-injury.

• Use a 5-step action plan to help an individual in crisis connect with appropriate professional help.

• Interpret the prevalence of various mental health disorders in the U.S. and the need for reduced negative attitudes in their communities.

• Apply knowledge of the appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-help resources available to help someone with a mental health problem treat and manage the problem and achieve recovery.
