Community Counseling Centers of Chicago (C4 Chicago) is again offering courses in Mental Health First Aid throughout the summer.

Mental Health First Aid helps people identify, understand, and respond to individuals experiencing signs of mental illness and substance use disorders. Mental Health First Aid was developed to help members of the community support an individual developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

The course is recommended for people working with the public (nurses, teachers, public welfare workers, law enforcement, etc), as well as consumers, families or anyone who wants to learn more about mental health. Anyone can take Mental Health First Aid - nurses, social service providers and teachers, leaders of faith communities, families and caring citizens – anyone.
