Student Development Facilitators Offering Mental Health First Aid Training

09/30/2021

Student Development Facilitators are planning to host two Mental Health First Aid Training sessions during fall break to faculty and staff within the entire SLU Community. 

The sessions will be Thursday, Oct. 28, and Friday, Oct. 29. Anyone interested should register in advance. 

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) teaches individuals how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders.

This intensive training covers common signs and symptoms of mental illness, how to interact with a person in crisis, how to connect individuals with the correct person to help, and provides ways to talk about self-care for yourself and others.

MHFA offers two learning options, virtual and blended. The courses involved self-paced work and a video conference.
