We've all heard of CPR. And because of it, many of us know what to do if someone is choking on a small piece of food or having trouble breathing. But do you know what to do if someone around you is having a panic attack or suicidal thoughts?

That's what Mental Health First Aid is for.

Just like CPR teaches you how to help someone having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to help someone experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis.

Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to help an adolescent (ages 12-18) who may be developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis and connect them to the appropriate care.

Adult Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to help an adult who may be developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

Mental Health First Aid Trainings are offered without cost to you by Linn County Health Services.
