- Mental Health First Aid Training Certification
-
This groundbreaking skills-based course gives people the tools to identify, understand, and respond to someone who might be struggling with a mental health or substance use challenge — and connect them with appropriate support and resources when necessary.
Just as CPR helps even those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step Action Plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support.
PLEASE NOTE: This is Mental Health First Aid for people serving Youth. This course is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations.
Topics covered include:
- Anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.
- Common signs and symptoms of mental health challenges in this age group, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD).
- Common signs and symptoms of substance use challenges.

- Wellness Workshops - Put a Little Love in Your Heart
-
The relationship you have with yourself is the foundation for ALL relationships in your life. It's important to create a loving foundation with yourself (self-love) because it is key to loving your life.
Sometimes, that is easier said than done because we can be so hard on ourselves and have high expectations. Many times, we don't say the nicest things to ourselves about ourselves.
Join us for Put A Little Love In Your Heart to learn and understand:
- Why we struggle with loving ourselves.
- What gets in the way of loving ourselves the way we should.
- Why it is so important to love yourself.
- What exactly self-love is.
- What benefits you experience when you love yourself.
- Practical ways to grow in loving yourself more.
You will leave this masterclass with a greater understanding of yourself, effective strategies to grow in self-love, and be motivated and inspired to start loving yourself more.
This Valentine season, along with showing compassion to those you love, take some time to also show yourself some love!
