LYME — The First Congregational Church of Lyme is offering a Mental Health First Aid class in two sessions on Friday, June 4, from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, June 5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
You must attend the full eight hours to receive the certificate.
The church is hosting this class for the whole Lyme community. Pastor Susan Olsen stresses, “It’s not a religious class–please invite anyone who might be interested.”
This is an eight-hour class designed to help laypersons recognize the early signs of mental health crises, and take some steps to offer support until more advanced help arrives. It is an engaging, interactive course that teaches important skills for members of communities and families.
Bring snacks or meals as you wish to either/both classes.
RSVP to pastorsusanolson@gmail.com.
Cost is $10. If that presents a hardship, simply ask and scholarship funds can be found.
