We at Dykstra + Maier Training provide Mental Health First Aid Training for both you and your employees. The Mental Health First Aid training is an 8-hour course that teaches individuals how to help adults experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or are in crisis.
Over the course of 2020 Mental Health has been brought to the forefront of our daily conversation. We have and still are suffering through a global traumatic event together.
Before COVID-19, studies had shown that one in four people in the world will be affected by mental challenges at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental challenges among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide. says the World Health Organization (WHO).
These are troubling statistics, but there’s good news: you can make a difference, and all it takes is one day.
By recognizing signs of mental health distress and knowing how to communicate with individuals experiencing these scary moments, we can be part of an immensely impactful early intervention effort.
If we identify problems early, we increase the chances people get the help they need as soon as possible. As Mental Health First Aid Instructors we have taught people these valuable skills, and we would love to work with your company/organization/group to teach them, too.
If you are interested, we can bring this course to your organization/group, please let us know when you would be available to discuss the details and pricing. A minimum of 5 attendees are required. We can conduct sessions in person or via Zoom.
