    logo_mentalhealthfirstaidx144Sedona AZ (December 2, 2016) – The Mental Health Coalition Verde Valley and Spectrum Healthcare Group are offering a full-day session on Mental Health First Aid training on Friday, December 9, 8AM-5PM at Christ Lutheran Church, 25 Chapel Rd, Sedona. The 8-hour training is free, open to the public, and each person receives a certificate of completion.

    According to Barbara Litrell, President of the Coalition, “This is one of six trainings this year to achieve over 100 community members trained to recognize the signs of addiction and mental illness and the 5 step action plan to assess a situation and offer assistance.

    The National Alliance on Mental Illness reports that approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness in a given year. Fear and stigma can often blind us to the signs of mental illness and paralyze us just when we could be of help to another person. Mental Health First Aid teaches members of the public how to respond in a mental health emergency.
