Just as CPR assists an individual having a heart attack, mental health first aid can help someone experiencing a mental-health-related crisis—and can be applied even by people with no clinical training. In these mental health first aid courses, participants 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, and where to turn for help. The mental health first aid course will cover topics such as signs of mental illnesses and a five-step action plan to assess a situation and access help. For more information, contact Dr. Nancy Wood at nancy.wood@saintleo.edu or 352-727-0375.
