Youth Mental Health First Aide for Library Staff from MSU Extension
Tuesday, January 10, 2023
8:30am-3:30pm ET
There is a couple of hours of prep work required before the virtual day-long training. Full video & audio participation required from attendees. Register: https://events.anr.msu.edu/YMHFALibraries23/
Course Details

  *   Mental Health First Aid teaches participants a five-step action plan, ALGEE, to support someone developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in an emotional crisis:
  *   Assess for risk of suicide or harm
  *   Listen nonjudgmentally
  *   Give reassurance and information
  *   Encourage appropriate professional help
  *   Encourage self-help and other support strategies
Like CPR, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person in crisis and connect the person with help. First Aiders do not take on the role of professionals - they do not diagnose or provide any counseling or therapy. Instead, the program offers concrete tools and answers key questions, like "what do I do?" and "where can someone find help?" Certified Mental Health First Aid instructors provide a list of community healthcare providers and national resources, support groups, and online tools for mental health and addictions treatment and support. All trainees receive a program manual to compliment the course material.
Registration is provided by the Library of Michigan with support from the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
