Mental Health First Aid
Friday, February 16 · 8am - 4:30pm EST
Location: Blountville Library, L106
Facilitated by Andrea Amos and Kayti Stout
Lunch Provided
Most of us would know how to help if we saw someone having a heart attack—we’d start CPR, or at the very least, call 9-1-1. But too few of us would know how to respond if we saw someone having a panic attack or if we were concerned that a friend or co-worker might be showing signs of alcoholism.
Mental Health First Aid takes the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health and substance use problems by improving understanding and providing an action plan that teaches people to safely and responsibly identify and address a potential mental illness or substance use disorder.
When more people are equipped with the tools needed to start a dialogue, more people can get the help they need. Mental Health First Aiders are a vital link between someone experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge and the appropriate support systems.
You will obtain a certificate for the course upon completion.
Dr. Jeff McCord: An Academic Journey
Friday, February 23 · 11:30am - 12:30pm EST
Location: Blountville Library, L106
Ideas, books, and experiences shape our journeys and give texture to our lives. While as people we are not necessarily the sum of all our inputs, it certainly helps us understand ourselves and others to know what those inputs have been. Sharing what has shaped us also may introduce others to whole new avenues of thought to explore. Come join a conversation with Dr. Jeff McCord to reflect on the path of one person and possibly be introduced to some new paths of your own.
