Meteorological Spring begins March 1!
Join us for Mental Health First Aid Training!
Mental Health First Aid is being offered to NSCC faculty, staff, and students. It is designed to help address the Mental Health concerns of our students and our colleagues. It is our goal that each of you view MHFA similar to that of CPR - you won't be a doctor when you finish the training, but you could help someone who is having a mental health challenge.
The training focuses on helping participants recognize someone who is having a mental
health challenge, how to approach them (if you choose to), how to engage in reflective
listening, and how to assist the individual to connect with appropriate services within
the community. A major focus of this training is also speaking about the need for
self-care, as each of us encounters stressors in our day-to-day life. The National
Council for Mental Wellbeing provides the
certification upon completion of the training.
Please note that this is on a first-come, first-served basis. The training is open for up to 24 participants per session.
Deadline for this selected training: Tuesday, March 19th
Friday, April 5th 9:00am - 5:00pm
