Mental Health First Aid Training
Date and Time
Monday, May 16, 2016 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Description
GVSU would like to offer you a special eight hour training opportunity for faculty and staff in Mental Health First Aid. The stigma surrounding mental illness often prevents people from seeking help or even acknowledging that they need help. Even if they do want help, many don’t know where to turn. Mental Health First Aid training does not teach people to be therapists; rather, it teaches people how to assist someone who may be in the early stages of developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. It is recommended that participants attend both 4 hour sessions to receive certification.
GVSU Professional Support Staff can obtain Technical Credit for attending this workshop.
This training is provided by The Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan.
