On December 7, St. Paul’s in Kansas City will be hosting an all-day training session for Mental Health First Aid from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Mental Health First Aid teaches the skills needed to recognize and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges, as well as how to provide someone with initial support until they are connected with appropriate professional help. In this course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies to help someone in both crisis and noncrisis situations, and where to turn for help. Support those around you and get certified in Mental Health First Aid.
There will be a suggested donation of $25 per person to help cover the cost of lunch and course materials.
If you have any questions about the event, contact JW Keckley for more information.
