The Rural Family Stress and Wellness workgroup encourages all Extension staff to register for a Mental Health First Aid course, scheduled just for you! Lunch is provided.
Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour training course designed to give key skills for helping someone who is experiencing a mental health crisis. Courses below are geared either toward adults or youth, or you may participate in both. Just as CPR training helps a layperson without medical training assist an individual following a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid training helps a layperson to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health illnesses and addictions. This knowledge is a valuable tool during tough times in Nebraska.
