Individual Training Information

During these difficult times, training is valuable for everyone. As a volunteer, I feel more confident through this program not only for others, but also for me.

Shortly after taking the MHFA training, I witnessed someone experiencing a mental health crisis at a local coffee shop. I was able to share with the barista that there is a mental health hotline that could be called instead of the police. I'm not sure what ended up happening, but I was glad to be able to provide that information.

I have used the MHFA training to help two friends and a family member during very difficult times when they felt hopeless and detached.
