Mental Health First Aid Training
Presented by: Allie Fridstein, MA, LPC
Do you struggle when trying to find the right words to ask your friends "are you okay?" Conversations surrounding mental health and suicide are tough. It can feel awkward, uncomfortable, and scary, and sometime we don't know where to start. Maybe we're worried our friend will be offended. Or worse, we worry we'll put ideas in their head. Perhaps we just cant imagine what they're going through and don't know how to comfort them.
During this training you'll learn:
Appropriate terminology for discussing mental health
How to de-stigmatize mental health struggles
Effective communication skills for asking others if they need help
Self-compassion exercises for helpers
Suicide risk assessment, warning signs of mental health crises, and safety planning
How/when to get appropriate community resources, mental health
professionals, and authorities involved
