Mental Health First Aid

About this event

Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorder. This training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect them to care. The course covers common signs and symptoms of mental illness and substance use, how to interact with a person in crisis, how to connect them with help, and how to care for yourself while caring for others. This course is a $170 value, but will cost $50 through Center on Halsted.
