SUMMARY:Mental Health First Aid for Adults
DESCRIPTION: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.\nTOPICS COVERED in MHFA\n– Depression and mood disorders\n– Anxiety disorders\n– Trauma\n– Psychosis\n– Substance Use disorders\nDate: May 7th, 2025\nTime: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm\nLocation: HARBOUR VIEW Mental Health Center – 7025 Harbour View Blvd, Suite 119 Suffolk, VA 23435\nTrainers: Angela Brown, Brian Van der Linden\nWhat is Mental Health First Aid?\nMental Health First Aid is a course that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a crisis.\nMental Health First Aiders are…\nTeachers, first responders and veterans. They’re neighbors, parents and friends. They’re people in recovery, and those supporting a loved one. They’re First Ladies and Mayors. Mental Health First Aiders are anyone who wants to make their community healthier, happier and safer for all.\nMore than 2.5 million people across the United States have been trained in Mental Health First Aid by a dedicated base of more than 15,000 Instructors.\nMental Health First Aid Matters\nMost of us would know how to help if we saw someone having a heart attack—we’d start CPR, or at the very least, call 9-1-1. But too few of us would know how to respond if we saw someone having a panic attack or if we were concerned that a friend or co-worker might be showing signs of alcoholism.\nMental Health First Aid takes the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health and substance use problems by improving understanding and providing an action plan that teaches people to safely and responsibly identify and address a potential mental illness or substance use disorder.\nWhen more people are equipped with the tools they need to start a dialogue, more people can get the help they need. Mental Health First Aiders are a vital link between someone experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge and appropriate supports.\nRegistration for this event is closed\n
