Faculty and Staff are welcome to attend the Mental Health First Aid Training hosted by the federal SAMHSA grant through the Wellness Center. Sign up here!
At the St. Olaf Wellness Center, we are working to increase awareness, reduce stigma and connect students to resources and support. 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. In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help. #BetheDifference
