COMMITMENT TO MENTAL HEALTH
The BBBSEP team is passionate about the mental health of our participants and our community as a whole. That is why many of our staff have become certified trainers in the critically important Mental Health First Aid curriculum.
MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID
Mental Health First Aid is a course that teaches you how to help someone who is developing a mental health challenge or experiencing a mental health crisis. The training helps you identify, understand, and respond to signs of addictions and mental illnesses. Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid course, you 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.
