WHA member, Mind Springs Health, is offering WHA employees an opportunity to take part in their Mental Health First Aid course. Mental Health First Aid focuses on an evidence-based intervention model for helping someone suffering with mental illness or substance abuse. This course helps participants identify resources that can make a difference in their lives, their families’ lives, and the communities in which they live. It provides participants with response options to help them de-escalate incidents and better understand mental illnesses so they can respond to mental health-related situations appropriately without compromising safety.
