Riverbend Presents: Mental Health First Aid - November 15th & 22nd

Riverbend Community Mental Health provides mental health services to 30 communities throughout Central New Hampshire. In conjunction with Mental Health Awareness Month, Riverbend is offering Mental Health First Aid training to select members of our community.

Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour course that teaches people how to understand and respond to someone who is experiencing a mental health or a substance use challenge. Participants will learn:

· Risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns.

· Strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations.

· Where to turn for help.

Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency. For more information on Mental Health First Aid, visit this homepage from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.
