In response to our nation’s mental health crisis, Klear Health and Safety Solutions LLC, will bring Adult Mental Health First Aid training to communities and organizations throughout the United States.

This groundbreaking skills-based course gives people the tools to identify, understand and respond to someone who might be struggling with a mental health or substance use challenge — and connect them with appropriate support and resources when necessary.  

 

One in five Americans has a mental illness, and the pandemic has dramatically increased depression and anxiety, but many are reluctant to seek help or don’t know where to turn for care.

Unlike physical conditions, symptoms of mental health and substance use problems can be difficult to detect. Friends and family members may find it hard to know when and how to step in.

As a result, those in need of mental health services often do not receive care until it is too late.

 

Just as CPR helps even those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis.

Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step Action Plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support.

 

“Never has it been more important for our communities to talk about mental health and substance use,” says Chuck Ingoglia, president and CEO of the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, which helped bring Mental Health First Aid to the U.S. in 2008. “This program is breaking down barriers and stigma so that together we can learn how to better support one another. Without mental health, there is no health.”

 

In just 12 years, Mental Health First Aid has become a full-blown movement in the United States —

more than 2.5 million people are certified Mental Health First Aiders, and that number is growing every day.

 

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Florida’s population in June 2021 was 21.7 million.  The National Council for Mental Wellbeing reports there are currently 69,545 individuals certified in Adult Mental Health First Aid.  We need you to help be the difference!
