During our Mental Health Community Listening session, the Wyandotte Community expressed a need for Mental Health Education. In response, the Center for African American Health and DCCCA will host a Mental Health First Aid (MFHA) training on October 12th from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the University of Kansas Medical Center in the Health Education Building, Room 205. Free parking is available in P4.

What is Adult Mental Health First-Aid?

Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour training program to teach participants how to support adults in various mental health challenges, crises, and worsening situations.

What will you learn?

You will learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of different mental health challenges, such as anxiety attacks, suicidal ideation, and borderline personality disorder. It’s important to note that MFHA does not cover how to diagnose or treat mental health or substance use challenges.

What will you receive?

Upon completing the training, you will receive a 3-year certificate and gain specific tools and strategies for taking the first steps to provide safety for all individuals in challenging situations.

Will food be available?

Yes, breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided.

The training is limited to 30 people, and you will need to attend the entire class to receive the certificate. This opportunity is open to everyone.
