CMHC to host mental health first aid course via Zoom

Mental health challenges — such as depression, anxiety, psychosis and substance use — are shockingly common in the United States. In fact, more than one in five American adults will have a mental health problem in any given year. Centennial Mental Health Center provides Mental Health First Aid courses to prepare communities with the knowledge and skills to help individuals who are developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

Centennial Mental Health Center will be hosting a cost covered Mental Health First Aid Course virtually on Feb. 25 from 12:30-4:30 p.m. via secured Zoom. Participants will be required to complete a two-hour self-paced module prior to the four-hour instructor led portion. Each participant will receive instructions on how to access each proton of the training.
