What if someone around you was struggling with their mental health… Would you know how to help?
Mental health challenges don't always come with warning signs we recognize, and sometimes the smallest act of support can make the BIGGEST difference.
The Worcester County Health Department, in partnership with the Worcester Local Management Board and Worcester Local Behavioral Health Authority, invites YOU to take part in an upcoming Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Training!
You don't have to be a mental health professional to make a difference — you just have to know where to start!
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
Mental Health First Aid equips participants with the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to:
✅ Recognize signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges.
✅ Understand how mental health challenges may affect youth and adults.
✅ Respond appropriately when someone is experiencing a mental health crisis.
✅ Offer initial support without judgment.
✅ Help connect individuals with appropriate resources and professional support.
