Horizons to host Mental Health First Aid May 2-3

Sometimes first aid isn't a bandage, or CPR, or calling 911.  Sometimes, first aid is YOU.  You are more likely to encounter someone - friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, or member of the community - in an emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack.  Horizons, A Family Service Alliance is proud to offer Mental Health First Aid training to help arm our community with the tools to make a difference.

Mental Health First Aid teaches a 5-step action plan to offer initial help to people with the signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in a crisis, and connect them with the appropriate professional, peer, social, or self-help care. Anyone can take the 12-hour Mental Health First Aid course - first responders, students, teachers, leaders of faith communities, human resources professionals, and caring citizens.

Join Horizons for this critical training on May 2-3, 2012.  A $75 registration fee includes all course materials and lunch courtesy of Horizons Meals On Wheels.  Take the course, save a life, strengthen this community.  Register today at
