Mental Health First Aid USA

by Betty Kitchener, Anthony F. Jorm, Claire Kelly

From the first "This manual is an accompaniment to the 12-hour Mental Health First Aid USA training course designed to teach lay people methods of assisting someone who may be in the early stages of developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. The course information is most relevant in situations where it becomes apparent to others that persons in their social network are developing serious mental health problems. However, the course also may provide useful information on how to assist a person who has a history of a mental disorder or longer-term mental health problems."

[Tristan LeBlanc]

This is a manual and it reads like one. The information presented is pretty decent.

[Annelise]

An invaluable tool for anyone who supervises others, is a parent, works with others, or is involved in a mental health capacity in any way. I wish I’d have had Mental Health First Aid training sooner and had this booklet as a resource. I also wish anyone in my past during some of my troublesome times would have had this knowledge. Can’t recommend it enough.

Great resource
