Sometimes first aid isn’t a bandage or CPR
or the Heimlich maneuver or calling 911
Sometimes, First Aid is YOU!
Someone you know could be experiencing a mental health crisis.
You can help them.
www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/cs/
You are more likely to encounter someone experiencing a mental health crisis
than someone having a heart attack. Mental Health First Aid teaches you
about common warning signs and risk factors for mental health and
substance use problems – so you will better understand these types of
problems common among youth (ages 12-25 years) and adults and the
resources for helping someone who may be struggling with a problem or in
crisis. Whether you are a first responder, teacher, faith community leader,
human resources professional, parent, employer, employee, coworker, or
some other caring community member, this 8-hour certification course has
information everyone can use.
Sometimes, the best first aid is you.
Take the course, save a life, strengthen your community.
