From Jeanette Jeffrey, Health Educator, Rural Health Care Transformation, University of Maryland Shore Regional Health:
Mental Health First Aid for Adults, a long-established evidence-based training program, teaches people how to recognize signs of mental health or substance use challenges in adults ages 18 and older, how to offer and provide initial help, and how to guide a person toward appropriate care if necessary. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, psychosis, and substance use disorder. This program is offered at no cost as a live virtual workshop on Wednesday, May 25 from 9 am to 2:30 pm. Completion of an independent online learning program is necessary prior to the day of the workshop. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/adult-mental-health-first-aid-tickets-311854173227.
