Be the ONE: Learn Mental Health First Aid
The National Council for Behavioral Health plans to train one million people across the country in Mental Health First Aid, an 8-hour interactive course. Given the large number of people with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, drug addiction and other conditions, the Council points out that an individual in the U.S. is more likely to witness an emotional crisis than a heart attack.
