Adult Mental Health First Aid
The full-day seminar is intended to address ongoing issues of stress and mental health in North Dakota. Taught by trained facilitators from FirstLink, the training will provide participants with awareness and skills to support the mental and behavioral health of self, others dealing with stress, and those working in stressful settings.
The seminar is free of charge to registered participants because of support from the North Dakota Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Center project, a federally funded grant to NDSU Extension from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA).
Adult Mental Health First Aid session consists of an eight-hour training combined with a brief self-study training. Though this particular seminar targets mental health in agriculture, anyone interested in the topic can register. The program is limited to the first 30 registrants. Registration is due by 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 1 to allow time for completion of a brief pre-training.
The event is hosted by NDSU Extension in Richland County at the Hektner Student Center, North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton. It begins at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 4:30 p.m. There will be a 30-minute break for lunch. Lunch is not provided. Light refreshments will be available in the morning.
Requests for accommodations related to disability should be made to the event contact person at least two weeks in advance of the event.
