|
Identify. Understand. Respo nd.
Approximately 1 in 5 Americans experience a menta
l health or addiction disorder each year. The World Health Organization est
imates that 15% of adults aged 60 and older have a mental disorder. The Men
tal Health First Aid (MHFA) course is an internationally acclaimed and evid
ence-based, accredited training program that empowers and equips caregivers
, employers, and families with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed
to support a resident, family member or co-worker experiencing a mental hea
lth or substance abuse problem or experiencing a crisis such as being suici
dal.
Mental Health First Aid will help with early detection of m
ental health needs and build capacity of staff to respond and manage those
needs including how to communicate effectively with those who need help, ho
w to discern the difference between talking about death and suicidal ideati
on, and the difference between psychosis, dementia, and delirium. It will a
lso help enhance care related to past trauma, better equipping staff to res
pond to the trauma informed care requirements in the requirements of partic
ipation. Additionally, MHFA will better equip staff to identify issues and
provide specialized services enhancing the quality of care delivered and in
tended by the PASRR requirements.
Participants will learn a 5-st
ep ALGEE action plan that can be used to help those in need:
Par ticipants will learn how to apply the action plan in a variety of situation s including when someone is experiencing panic attacks, suicidal thoughts o r behaviors, non-suicidal self-injury, acute psychosis, overdose or withdra wal from alcohol or drugs, and reaction to a traumatic event. The training includes opportunities to practice which makes it easier to apply these ski lls in real-life situations.
Who Should Attend
Long-term care staff including administrators, nurses, social workers, CNAs
, activities personnel, clergy/chaplains, and others who have the capacity
to become a mental health first aider and engage with residents and other t
eam members. The CMP grant covers training costs for SNF/NF staff only.
Individuals should sign up for ONLY one (1) cohort. Group registrat
ion is not available because each registration must have individual names a
nd email addresses to receive the pre-work and certification. There is no l
imit to the number of individuals that a LTC community can have participate
in this training.
