#2014 Forum Workshop Alert: You Want to Help. Learn How. Mental Health First Aid in Colorado
You Want to Help. Learn How. Mental Health First Aid in Colorado
Join Brian Turner, Statewide Programs Manager, Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council
This session introduces Mental Health First Aid, an evidence-based, ground-breaking public education program designed to improve participants' knowledge of behavioral health disorders, to reduce stigma, and to increase the amount of help provided to those who may need it. We will discuss the statewide initiative to implement this program in Colorado, and then identify opportunities for rural and other safety net healthcare providers to engage with and support this effort.
