SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A South Dakota group is set to present a free training session on mental health first aid.
The Helpline Center Suicide and Crisis Support will be hosting the event in Sioux Falls. The training will focus on the initial help given to someone who may be developing a mental illness or experiencing a mental health crisis.
The organization says participants will learn the signs and symptoms of the most common mental health problems, where and when to get help, and what type of help has been shown to be effective.
Among the mental health issues that will be addressed are depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorders and substance use disorders.
The eight-hour training session is scheduled for Dec. 9.
