Mental Health First Aid is an online 8-hour training to teach participants how to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The evidence behind the program demonstrates that it helps trainees identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders.
Sponsored by a grant from Mental Health America of the Midsouth, the YMCA of Middle Tennessee is partnering with Find Hope Franklin and Franklin First United Methodist Church to provide FREE online Mental Health First Aid training in July, September and November. The 8-hour online training includes 2-hours of online pre-work and 6-hours of live training via Zoom. Please sign up below for ONE of the three courses being offered over the next six months. Space is limited and all reservations are due 2 weeks prior to each class so that each participant will have time to complete the 2-hour pre-work requirement. Sign up today!
