The Benton County Sheriff’s Office will host Mental Health First Aid Training on April 19 2019. The course is open to members of the public as well as all First Responders. The training is provided by the Abbe Center for Mental Health, and is being sponsored by the East Central Region.
The AbbeHealth Affiliates are excited to offer a Mental Health First Aid Training (MHFA) in your community.
The MHFA programs teach community members skills on identifying and responding to an adult who may be experiencing a mental health issue. This is comparable to learning first aid training for physical health, but instead will focus on mental health. This program has been developed by the National Council for Behavioral and further information can be found on their website at www.MentalHealthFirstAid.org.
Upon completion of the training you will receive a certificate and a manual. You must attend the entire training to receive a certificate.
Lunch: Is not provided; day includes two 15 min and one 30 min break.
This program has been approved for 8 (nursing) contact hours through Abbe Center, IBON provider #304. Participants must attend the entire event to receive credit.
