About this Event
Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training course that teaches participants about mental health and substance-use challenges. This training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to a young person who may be developing a mental health or substance use challenge and help connect them to the appropriate care.
The course will teach you how to apply the ALGEE action plan:
- Assess for risk of suicide or harm
- Listen non-judgmentally
- Give reassurance and information
- Encourage appropriate professional help
- Encourage self-help and other support strategies
This course is only open to participants who live or work in Missouri. The course is valued at $170 per person but is being offered to you at no cost by Missouri's Department of Mental Health.
The course requires advanced registration.
Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aid courses have a significant amount of overlapping content. If you plan to take both, we recommend 3 months between classes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This course will be in a blended in-person format. Participants must complete 2 -hours of prework on-line prior to the in-person portion.
The 4.5-hour (+ Provided lunch and breaks) portion of the course is a small group-interactive training.
