Description:
At least 2 out 5 people will either be effected or know someone effected by mental illness. Fast identification and help when a person is entering a mental health crisis, improves their situation and leads to better recovery. Mental Health First Aid is a program that community members can do as "first aid" until professional help can be found.
AJ Williams has been an instructor of Mental Health First Aid since 2008 and talks about the benefits of doing Mental Health First Aid for the community, society in general, and those dealing with mental health issues.
