What Are People Saying?
“Mental health is a part of everyone’s life, and an emergency can happen to anyone. By becoming first aid certified, I felt that I could take a stand and say, ‘As friends, family members, and citizens, we have a duty to support each other’s well-being, and to be able to respond if there is a problem.”
“I have used the steps of Mental Health First Aid training several times. Seeing someone in a mental health emergency can look a little scary. The training is beneficial because it sets forth a straightforward, easy to remember set of steps that can be useful to stabilize an otherwise scary situation.”
