Event description
Mental Health First Aid is exactly what it sounds like: the help and support you provide to someone experiencing a mental health problem or crisis. Just like physical first aid, Mental Health First Aid is temporary and is given until the person is able to receive professional help or until the crisis resolves.
Here's what you'll learn in the course:
- How to recognize common mental health illnesses
- How to de-escalate someone who is distressed
- How to approach and communicate with someone experiencing a mental health problem
- Techniques for supporting someone dealing with depression or anxiety
- How to talk to someone who may be expressing suicidal thoughts
- How to help someone through a crisis or traumatic event
- How to approach the conversation about drug and alcohol use
- How to encourage someone to seek professional help
"Let's work together to break the stigma surrounding mental health and empower people to openly discuss their mental health. By doing so, we can reduce the negative impacts that mental health can have on individuals and communities."
