IDENTIFY - UNDERSTAND - RESPOND
Baptist Health is pleased to present this national, evidence-based training at no charge to the community.
Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training which empowers community members to identify, understand and respond to risk factors and warning signs of mental health and addiction concerns. Participants also learn:
- a 5-step action plan to help someone developing a mental health problem or someone in crisis
- where to turn for support - professional, peer and self-help
- topics covered include depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, addiction disorders
Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency – the belief that individuals experiencing these challenges can and do get better, and use their strengths to stay well. Participants earn a three-year certification upon completion.
