South Texas Health System-McAllen
ADULT MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID
08/09/2023 • 8 AM - 5 PM
Most of us would know how to help if we saw someone having a heart attack — we’d start CPR or call 911. But too few of us would know how to respond if we saw someone having a panic attack or showing signs of alcoholism. Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge or crisis. It takes the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health or substance use by improving understanding and providing an action plan that teaches people to safely and responsibly identify and address a potential issue.
