Staff Development: The importance of Mental Health First Aid

NIYLP's Experiential Educators and Coordinators have taken part in mental health first aid workshops. Emotional safety for our participants and our staff is part of our Full Value Commitment.

The All Faiths Receiving Home is offering a free two-day Mental Health First Aid workshop in Albuquerque on June 9 & 10.

12-hour training course designed to give members of the public key skills to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. Just as CPR training helps a layperson without medical training assist an individual following a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid training helps a layperson assist someone experiencing a mental health crisis.
