Just as CPR training prepares people without medical backgrounds to help someone who is having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid trains people to help someone who is at risk of developing a mental health problem or who is going through a mental health crisis.
“I had a random person walk in and ask me for help. I was able to figure out he was having a panic attack. I was able to help him calm down, AND his boyfriend that was on the phone with him. I’ve also been able to give a list of MH resources to several friends that have reached out needing someone to talk to.”
