<p class="MsoNormal">Hi there – We have had some staff attend the Mental Health First Aid training through our local community mental health department. It has been useful training both for our library, public work environment and somewhat informational to
overall well-being too. At the same time, it is not optimally as specific to public library work, or as flexible as we may like it. For example, some folks would be interested in an internal option that’s is abbreviated….perhaps a couple hours or half a day….and
this is not an option with the Mental Health First Aid training.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone worked with an organization or individual who has expertise is this area, and was well received?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any feedback.<o:p></o:p></p>
