May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, there is a FREE Virtual Adult Mental Health First Aid training on May 30th!

Mental health first aid for adults teaches people how to recognize signs of mental health or substance use challenges in adults ages 18 and older, how to offer and provide initial help, and how to guide a person toward appropriate care if necessary. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, psychosis, and addictions.

You will learn:

• Common mental health concerns among adults
