MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING FOR ADULTS

Mental Health First Aid for Adults is designed to teach employers, employees, police officers, hospital staff, first responders, health and human service workers, adult family members, neighbors, caregivers, and other caring citizens how to help another adult who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. The course teaches participants how to recognize signs of mental health or substance use challenges in other adults, how to offer and provide initial help, and how to guide a person toward appropriate care, if necessary. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, psychosis, and addictions.

This course is valued at $170. For a limited time, Adult Mental Health First Aid Training is being offered at no cost for those who work/volunteer/live in Bartholomew County, and out-of-county residents/workers will be charged a reduced fee of $23.95 thanks to a generous grant from FSSA DHMA.

This course requires a 2-hour, self-paced, interactive online course PRIOR to your in-person, instructor-led training.
