Mental Health First Aid for Adults- Main

When: Saturday, June 08, 2019 - 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Where: Main Library at MN Large Meeting Room

Mental Health First Aid Training is aimed at helping people who frequently come into contact with individuals exhibiting problems related to mental illness, substance use, poverty or homelessness. The Library is partnering with the Mahoning County Mental Health and Recovery Board and Alta Care Group, which will provide instructors. Participants in this training will learn risk factors and warning signs, as well as strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help. Each participant will receive a First Aid book. Space is limited, available to Library staff as well as people who may encounter individuals needing this type of assistance. Please call 330-744-8636 to register for this all-day training (half-hour lunch on your own). Program is thanks to a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and awarded by the State Library of Ohio, under the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
