Harper College, in collaboration with the Kenneth Young Center and Ascension, provides
Mental Health Awareness training to Harper College Staff, Faculty, Students, and community
members. All of the mental health trainings are free of charge.
Adult Mental Health First Aid equires approximately 2 hours of prerequisite self-paced online training. After signing up for the training, you will be emailed an invitation to join the Mental Health First Aid Connect portal. Once you create your account, we will enroll you in the training session on the date you selected. All pre-work must be completed before attending the instructor-led session that will run from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM on your chosen date.
*Lunch will be provided at the all-day training session*
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. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. QPR is a one-hour certification course with an optional 30-minute role-play session to practice new skills.
Lunch will be provided at all Mental Health First Aid Trainings (full day trainings). Sign up required for all trainings.
