Volga Mental Health First Aid Training

Description

Hosted by the Volga Business Network & SD Soybean Processors

Join us on Thursday, April 9th from 8:00am – 5:00pm at the SD Soybean Processors office for an important day of learning that equips you to better support those around you. 

This 8-hour, evidence-based course—conducted by the Brookings Area United Way—provides practical skills to help someone who may be developing a mental health concern or experiencing a crisis, including contemplating suicide. 

Just like CPR helps you assist someone having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid gives you the tools to:

•  Assess risk and recognize warning signs 
• Listen respectfully and non-judgmentally 
• Provide initial support in a crisis 
• Connect individuals with appropriate professional help and resources 

The goal is simple but powerful: support someone until the right help arrives.

Space is limited to 30 participants, so early registration is encouraged. This training is limited to members of the Volga Business Network.
