| Description |
Someone you know could be experiencing a mental illness or crisis.
You can help them.
Sometimes, first aid isn’t a bandage, or CPR, or calling 911. Sometimes, first aid is YOU!
You are more likely to encounter someone in an emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack. The Mental Health First Aid class teaches a 5-step action plan to offer initial help to people with the signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in a crisis, and connect them with the appropriate care. Mental Health First Aid is for anyone—parents, neighbors, students, first responders, teachers, leaders of faith communities, human resources professionals, and caring citizens.

The Mental Health First Aid Collaborative is a partnership effort involving the McLean County Health Department, OSF St. Joseph Medical Center,
McLean County Center for Human Services, the Central Illinois Area Health Education Center, and Advocate BroMenn Medical Center.
