MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID CLASS MONDAY AT BRENHAM LIBRARY

  

Anyone interested in learning more about ways to help others who are battling mental health challenges is invited to a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) class in Brenham.

The free community class will be held Monday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Nancy Carol Roberts Memorial Library.

MHMR Authority of the Brazos Valley and NAMI Brazos Valley coordinate the MHFA program.  It teaches participants to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental illness and possible substance misuse and connect those affected with resources that can help.

Each class participant will receive MHFA training, a manual and a three-year certification.

Seating is limited, and registration is required.  To reserve a spot, contact Angie Bates at batesmhfa@gmail.com or call 979-279-2798.
