Mental Health First Aid Training
March 25 @ 9:00 am - March 30 @ 3:00 pm
Continuing our work to support Pinellas County artists, Creative Pinellas is working with local arts organizations to provide Mental Health First Aid training, an exciting opportunity for artists to become active participants in the public health of our creative community.
The workshops are facilitated by Love IV Lawrence, a local foundation working to erase the stigma of mental illness and suicide, and provided at no cost to participants thanks to Safe & Sound Hillsborough with a Love IV Lawrence grant. Each participating artist or creative will receive two hours of self-paced online content followed by five (5) hours of instructor-led training. Refreshments and lunch are included. Hospitality support provided through the generosity of Freeman Sound.
This training is a part of a new Creative Pinellas initiative with a key focus on the wellbeing of our local creative community. The sessions will be hosted by our arts and wellbeing partners: Lealman Exchange-March 25; Dunedin Fine Art Center-March 27; FloridaRAMA-March 28 and freeFall Theatre-March 30. (Registration links at the bottom of the page.)
In this one-day class, you will learn how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use challenges, giving you the skills to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect them to the appropriate care.
Please join Creative Pinellas in becoming active drivers of positive mental health for our creative community.
Here’s what the course covers:
• Common signs and symptoms of mental health challenges
• Common signs and symptoms of substance use challenges
• How to successfully engage with a person in crisis
• How to connect the person with help
