About this Event

Registration required here: https://medicaleducation-nuvancehealth.enrollware.com/schedule Nuvance Health Community Education | CPR, BLS, PALS and ACLS Classes (enrollware.com) Please register for this class at least 3 days prior to the class date. Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training course that teaches participants to identify, understand and respond to mental health and substance use challenges. Upon successful completion of all portions of the class you will be provided a certificate of completion from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. The adult Mental Health First Aid course is appropriate for anyone age 18 and older who wants to learn how to help a person who may be experiencing a mental health related crisis or problem. Mental illness is common and impacts 1 in 5 adults in any given year. Some of the topics can be difficult for some students and we ask all attending to be sensitive and supportive of those who may have had loved ones close to them or may have a present or past history themselves. In addition, the class is a safe space and we expect all participating to keep anything that may be mentioned about staff or student personal experiences confidential.

This class requires that you have access to the internet and be able to navigate computer software systems. After registering you will be sent an invite to join MFHA connect. Once you accept that invitation you will be enrolled in the course date you have selected. You will then need to complete a pre-test and a few brief online modules. After the class room portion you would then complete a post test, short final exam and evaluate your instructors. Once all items are successfully completed you will be issued your certificate of completion on MHFA connect. This course is valued at $170 pp. Our organization values community education so learners may attend at no charge.

What you learn:
Risk factors and warning signs.
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.

You learn by getting involved with the material and relating what you learn to real-life applications. Discussion topics, exercises, and other activities keep you engaged in the course and give you an opportunity to practice helping skills.

One or two certified instructors lead each course and follow a national curriculum and teaching standards, while emphasizing hope for recovery. Classes usually consist of 20 people or less are offered in a respectful, comfortable environment. This class does require a minimum of 3 students to run so if you are unable to attend please let us know PRIOR to the class date so we can make arrangements to reschedule the class if needed.

If you opt to pay a small fee that fee is non-refundable.

**Class end times are approximate so please do not plan anything directly after class. Class end times are approximate as everyone's individual skill and learning level will vary. Some may need additional assistance or have additional questions.

Please bring drinks, food to class with you. A lunch break is provided but local options may be limited.
