Story Behind the Curve

Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach the general public how to provide comfort, promote recovery, and help reduce distress related to stressful situations, trauma, and crisis. Macomb County government employees who complete the trainings will play a valuable role in offering support to their clients and may be able to establish a train-the-trainer program within their County offices.

What Works

Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour course that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. The training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem or experiencing a crisis.

Partners

The Macomb County Health Department is partnering with Community Mental Health and the Macomb Intermediate School District to host and implement Mental Health First Aid trainings.

Action Plan

The day-long trainings are free to attend. We encourage all Macomb County government employees to complete the Mental Health First Aid training(s) with the approval of their supervisor. 

Clear Impact Suite is an easy-to-use, web-based software platform that helps your staff collaborate with external stakeholders and community partners by utilizing the combination of data collection, performance reporting, and program planning.
