JUST ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA IS HIS GUN CONTROL PLAN
HED 293 - MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID: OFFERED SPRING BREAK March 4 & 5 2013, 9AM - 4PM @ UNM-Taos
College campuses have become a flashpoint for awareness of the need for effective mental health support and crisis response:
* Someone you know could be experiencing a mental illness or crisis.
* You are more likely to encounter someone — student, friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, or member of the community — in an emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack .
Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based 'first responder' course that addresses risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems, and trains participants in the skills, resources and knowledge to help an individual in crisis connect with appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-help care. Participants who successfully complete the course receive national certification in MHFA (similar to CPR certification). The course is appropriate for diverse audiences and professionals including: health and human service students; primary care, nursing, EMS, and other health professionals; faith communities; educators and student support staff; human resource professionals; law enforcement; peers; volunteers; YOU!
Take the course, save a life, strengthen your community.
