As the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania continues its movement to address the mental health needs of veterans and be a spiritual safe space in the community, we are hosting a Veterans Mental Health First Aid Training on August 26, 2017. The training will be led by a veteran from the Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health. The training will provide us with knowledge and tools to support veterans and their families who may need or seek help. The training aims to:
Break down the stigmas associated with mental illness
Reach out to those who suffer in silence and are reluctant to seek help
Let veterans know that support is available in their community
Provide community resource information
Make mental healthcare and treatment accessible to thousands in need
This training is free to all. Please register online at this link:
