Building Stronger Communities Together

At WellStone, care extends beyond the clinic. Through community partnerships, we work to raise awareness, promote wellness, and eliminate stigma.

Mental Health First Aid Course

Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour course that teaches you how to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

What You’ll Learn

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training is an evidenced-based public education program available to non-mental health professionals, that teaches how to recognize the symptoms of mental health problems, how to offer and provide initial help, and how to guide the individual to professional help, if appropriate. MHFA has been found to build mental health literacy, to decrease stigmatizing attitudes surrounding mental illness and substance abuse, to increase confidence of individuals to offer help, and to empower individuals to seek help earlier thus yielding a greater chance for recovery.

Community Education

WellStone team members are committed to promoting mental health awareness throughout the community. We are available to present on mental illness and substance use topics through wellness fairs, as well as speaking engagements in schools, colleges, churches, civic groups, and businesses.
