Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health Chaplaincy is honored to partner with SAMHSA to offer a Mental Health First Aid course this Fall!
Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour course that teaches you how to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. This event will be geared for faith communities to reduce stigma and promote mental health awareness in their congregations. . Participants will learn:
- Risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems.
- Information on depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis and addiction disorders.
- A 5-step action plan to help someone developing a mental health problem or in crisis.
- Where to turn for help – professional, peer and self-help resources.
The hope is, by training faith communities, people will receive the tools that could potentially save lives in case of an emergency situation in the home, at work and at places of worship.
Training will take place on Saturday, 10 October 2015, 8am-5pm at Christ Our Hope Church, Seattle. Space is limited. Please email us at info@mentalhealthchaplaincy.org to Register or for more information.
