Mental Health First Aid Class for Adults

The Office of Marriage and Family Life is sponsoring a Mental Health First Aid Class from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm at St. Paul Parish (9 El Pomar Rd in Colorado Springs). Mental Health First Aid teaches participants how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders. It gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use challenge and help connect them to the appropriate care. Lunch is provided and there is no cost to attend, but registration is required, as some pre-work will be necessary to receive certification.
