Provident is offering Mental Health First Aid training in the St. Louis area, providing free sessions to over 180 community individuals, thanks to a grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health.
Mental Health First Aid, an eight-hour training course, teaches participants a five-step action plan to assess a situation, select and implement interventions and secure appropriate care for the individual. The certification program outlines risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems, builds understanding of their impact and reviews common treatments.
