Youth Mental Health First Aid

Description

The James Kennedy Public Library has partnered with the Meraki Institute of Learning to offer this mental health first aid training course. Youth Mental Health First Aid is an early intervention public education program that teaches adults how to recognize the signs and symptoms that suggest a potential mental health challenge and how to refer a person to appropriate professional support and services. This will be a blended course with participants completing a 2 hour self-paced online course before attending the in-person instructor- led training on April 27. Register by contacting the library or registering online at https://DyersvilleYMHFA1.eventbrite.com. Registration by April 15 is required as space is limited. Funding for the course has been covered by the Mental Health and Disability Services of the East Central Region (MH/DS of ECR) for anyone working or living in Delaware or Dubuque counties.
