Identify. Understand. Respond.
 
 
Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based, early-intervention course that teaches participants about mental health and substance use challenges.

  

The course is 8am – 5pm in-person on the Bremerton campus.  It is free for OC employees and students.  

 

YOU MUST PRE REGISTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID! 

 

What is Mental Health First Aid and what does it teach?

  • MHFA is skills-based training that teaches people how to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use challenge.

  • Similar to physical First Aid and CPR, MHFA helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis until professional assistance is obtained or the crisis is resolved.

  • Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step Action Plan to recognize warning signs of a mental health or substance use challenge, provide help in crisis and non-crisis situations, and understand where to turn for additional assistance. 

 

We look forward to seeing you in a workshop soon!
