Yes!

A number of basic community health worker curricula include MHFA and/or SBIRT

What is SBIRT?

Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment

Thank you! Sounds like the clinical version of ALGEE

Yes! And it's billable - huge for integrated behavioral health sustainability!

I would love to see more integration and team-based care.

And peer support.

“Self-care has to resonate with the individual themselves” ++++++

Please put questions into q&A --so we can easily see them

these considerations are valuable in helping reduce stigma at community level, which can help reduce resistance to treatment

Yes and also how does one find a youth trained MH First Aider.

Look up MHFA instructors and courses in your area at www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org

born this way...... iconic......

Indiana school teachers must have suicide prevention certification every 3 years to be licensed, and Mental Health First Aid is one of 4 approved suicide prevention programs allowed!!
