Mental Health

Increasing awareness and people’s willingness to talk about mental health will encourage more Kansans to recognize those in need or get the help that they need.

Our District has partnered with the Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center in various community settings to provide Mental Health First Aid Trainings and QPR trainings.

 

 

Mental Health First Aid
Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis.

Who can benefit from Mental Health First Aid Training?

• Employers
• Police Officers
• Hospital Staff
• First Responders
• Caring Individuals
• EVERYONE

QPR
Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help.

Who can benefit from QPR Training?

• Parents
• Friends
• Teachers
• Nurses
• Office Supervisors
• Police Officers
• Firefighters
• EVERYONE
