Most of us would know how to help if we saw someone having a heart attack — we’d start CPR or call 9-1-1. But too few of us would know how to respond if we saw someone having a panic attack or showing signs of alcoholism. Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge or crisis. It takes the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health or substance use by improving understanding and providing an action plan that teaches people to safely and responsibly identify and address a potential issue.

 

In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness Month, Beebe HealthCare is partnering with the University of Delaware to offer free Mental Health First Aid training. 

 

May 18, 2023, OR June 16, 2023, online with 2-hour pre-work and 9:00-3:30 via Zoom

 

Registration is limited, so please register early.

 

Virtual: Instruction begins with a 2-hour, self-paced, online course. The second session is online, led by an instructor via Zoom. This second session is six to seven hours long. You must complete both parts to qualify for certification. Certification is good for 3 years. You will receive an email 2 weeks before class begins with instructions on self-paced work and directions about the Zoom portion.

 

Please note – to access any online material, you must have internet and a computer, as well as a working camera and microphone. The class is also accessible on a mobile device with the internet, but this is not recommended. For Virtual Classes, you must have the ability to log in to Zoom and be on camera for the entire class.
