On March 16, 2018, Kim Burton (left) and Bonney Moxley (right) (both MSRN Members) gave an 8 hr seminar on First Aid for people who may deal with those with mental health afflictions. The Mental Health Assoc of Maryland (MHAMD) office is located at 1301 York Road, Suite 505, Luthereville, MD. Some of us know this building as the Heaver Plaza Building.
Mental Health First Aid® is an 8-hour national certification course that is designed to teach the layperson the skills to recognize the signs of a mental health or substance use disorder crisis, identify community resources, and link individuals in need of treatment and support to the proper resources. An in-person skills based course, Mental Health First Aid® teaches participants a 5-step action plan that can be used to help those in need.
MHAMD’s community education and training programs provide Marylanders of all ages with information to improve understanding of mental health and illness, increase knowledge of effective interventions and strengthen pathways to care.
Instructor Training Course
Bring Mental Health First Aid to your organization or community by certifying as an instructor. Using a train-the-trainer model, the five-day instructor training course fully prepares you to teach either the core or youth course — and you don’t have to be a mental health clinician.
