Health and Fitness : Mental Health First Aid Training to be offered in Vinton, April 11

The Vinton Area Ministerial Association will host Mental Health First Aid Training (MHF) provided by the Abbe Center on Saturday, April 11, 2015. This event will be from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. at Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church at 1206 C Avenue in Vinton.

The MHFA programs teach community members skills on identifying and responding to a person who may be experiencing a mental health issue. This is comparable to learning first aid training for physical health, but instead will focus on mental health. This program is intended for all persons--family members, concerned citizens, and various professionals.

Lunch will not be provided. All may bring their own lunch or go out during the lunch period 12:00 to 12:45 p.m. Space is limited. Register by calling Bethlehem at 319-472-3784, ext. 3.

Abbe is an approved provider for Social Work and Nursing CEU’s and will provide a certificate for 7.5 hours of training.
