Adult Mental Health First Aid
Posted by Temple University on June 30, 2014
Did you know that you are more likely to encounter a person in a mental health crisis than someone having a heart attack? Learn the warning signs and how YOU can help!
Temple University’s Center for Social Policy and Community Development will be hosting a FREE 8 hour training on Adult Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), for adults who interact with adults. MHFA is a national early intervention and public education program, made free to Philadelphians through the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services (DBHIDS).
During this training, you will learn the 5 Step ALGEE action plan, which is administered until appropriate treatment and support are received or until the crisis is resolved. You will be able to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of mental illnesses or substance use disorders.
The training will be held on Wednesday, July 39th and Thursday, July 31st from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM at Ritter Hall, Room 101, southwest corner of 13th and Montgomery, Philadelphia, PA. Note: Attendance is required at both days, in order to receive a 3 year national certification and free manual.
Seating is limited, so register early for this FREE training via http://www.HealthyMindsPhilly.org. For more info: call (215) 790-4996.
