Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health affects not only a person, but their family and community.
This resource guide provides information on local and national organizations that offer mental health services in our community.
If you are a mental health services provider and would like your information to be featured in this resource guide, please contact DOH-Lee at (239) 461-6100 and ask for Health Promotions.
Mental Health First Aid Training
Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis.
At DOH-Lee, we teach Adult and Youth Mental Health FirstAid. These FREE trainings are in-person and last 8-hours.
In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn:
· Risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns,
· Strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and
· Where to turn for help.
If you are interested in hosting or planning a training,
please contact our Health Educator by calling 239-332-9501.
