Over the past 5 years we have trained over 600 individuals in our Verde Valley communities.”

    logo_mentalhealthfirstaidMental Health First Aid (MHFA) aims to teach members of the public how to respond in a mental health emergency and how to offer support to someone who appears to be in emotional distress.

    According to the Mental Health First Aid USA training guide,”Most of us assume mental illness is something that only affects others and believe it won’t affect our family or friends. The truth is that mental health problems are more common than heart disease, lung disease and cancer combined.”

    The training begins at 8 am. Beverages and snacks will be provided. Attendees should bring lunch. Class size is limited to 24. Please register early by calling Barbara Litrell at 649-0135 or blitrell@aol.com.

    The Mental Health Coalition Verde Valley is a 501C3 non-profit all volunteer organization dedicated to building support for individuals and families challenged by mental health issues through education, outreach, advocacy, community conversations and support services.
