Mental Health First Aid “Lite”-Presented by Penny C. Sitler, RA
Executive Director, Mental Health America of Licking County
| Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack – even if you have no clinical training – Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) gives you the tools to assist someone experiencing mental health difficulties. In this abbreviated MHFA session you will learn risk factors and warning signs for mental illness and substance abuse, strategies for how to help someone, and where to turn for help.
Penny will cover common mental health challenges and introduce a five-step action plan for how to help people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use and disorders in which psychosis may occur, community resources and suggestions for self-care for people in helping roles.
