LLCC Student Success is pleased to share a great training opportunity for you: Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)! MHFA training covers:

• Common signs and symptoms of mental health challenges
• Common signs and symptoms of substance use challenges
• How to interact with a person in crisis
• How to connect a person with help
• Expanded content on trauma, substance use and self-care

Many of the staff in LLCC Student Services have been through this training and feel that it is very useful in gaining some of the tools needed to recognize signs/symptoms of mental health challenges. We all play an important role in helping identify, support and refer students that may need additional assistance. This training is not intended to make anyone a counselor; rather, we believe that this provides great tools to help folks that are uniquely positioned in student-facing roles to feel more confident in providing initial support.

We have one training opportunity this summer for you (in-person), conducted by a certified MHFA trainer from Heritage Behavioral Health Center. There are only 20 spots for the training, so get signed up as soon as possible. Lunch will be provided! Please note that you will have to commit to be present during the entire training.
