Sometimes, first aid isn’t

a bandage,

or CPR,

or the Heimlich,

or calling 911.

Sometimes, first aid is YOU!

Someone you know could be experiencing

a mental illness or crisis. You can help them.

You are more likely to encounter someone — 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 teaches a 5-step action plan to offer initial help to people

with the signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in a crisis,

and connect them with the appropriate professional, peer, social,

or self help care. Anyone can take the 8-hour Mental Health

First Aid course — first responders, students, teachers, leaders

of faith communities, human resources professionals, and

caring citizens.

Sometimes, the best first aid is you.

Take the course, save a life, strengthen

your community.
