Spreading awareness to expand mental health support.
Made possible by a grant through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the mental health training program is designed to teach individuals how to identify and safely respond to mental health problems among their peers and, ultimately, help them get the support they need.
Through our implementation we will focus on:
- Expanding training opportunities
- Developing tools to improve access to behavioral health care services
- Improving access to quality care for everyone
The trainings are available in both English and Spanish.
Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health Awareness Trainings help you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis.
