Knowing how to provide support and how to secure assistance for mental health issues of concern is the reason a nationally recognized mental health first aid course was designed and made available for the general public. “Mental Health First Aiders” learn a single approach to assessing a situation and responding to signs of mental health concerns, such as helping a person through a panic attack, or talking with someone who is anxious or depressed. The two-day course is useful for everyday events, and especially helpful to people working with the public. The sessions will be taught by nationally certified trainers Beth Friedman-Darner and Kathi Talluto this September 30^th and October 1^st. Cost for the training is $25; registration is required no later than September 9^th.
