Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour course that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a crisis.

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.

 

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Interfacing Training

ACEs are traumatic and stressful events that pose a significant threat to a child’s development and can lead to a range of health issues throughout the course of their lifetime. Studies have found that people with an ACE score of 4 are 443% more likely to use illicit drugs and are 555% more likely to develop alcoholism than those with an ACE score of 0. 

DPCS is offering ACE Interface Training. The training will help you identify ACE and the effect it has on people’s lives, what we can all do to dramatically improve health and resilience for this and future generations. WPTRCN is another DPCS resource that provides trainings. Contact us for information on upcoming training sessions.
