help heal mental health
Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour training to teach participants how to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The evidence behind the program demonstrates that it helps trainees identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders.
With facilitation support from Find Hope Franklin and the United Methodist Church, this nationally certified course is being offered through the YMCA of Middle Tennessee for $50 per participant. The 8-hour training includes two hours of online pre-work and six hours of live training either via Zoom or in-person.
