Looking forward to my next Adult First Aid - Mental Health. Book here:

Employers, it's not a bad idea for someone on staff to be Mental Health First Aid certified. Just like regular first-aid doesn't take the place of trained physicians and EMTs, MHFA doesn't replace mental health providers. However, everyone can provide immediate first aid until help arrives with a little training. (A link about the efficacy of MHFA is in the comments! and here's the free course from UNH!) https://lnkd.in/eTiahywm
