COMING THIS SUMMER....
Teaching CPR isn't the only way to help others save a life. In Cardiac Companion, LLC's continuing effort to help others and upon completion of the Youth Mental Health First Aid USA Trainer Certification Course this Spring, Cardiac Companion will be offering courses to parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.
