What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid is a groundbreaking public education program that helps the public identify, understand, and respond
to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Mental Health First Aid USA is managed, operated, and disseminated
by three national authorities — the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare, the Maryland Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene, and the Missouri Department of Mental Health.
Mental Health First Aid is offered in the form of an interactive 8-hour course that presents an overview of mental illness and
substance use disorders in the U.S. and introduces participants to risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems,
builds understanding of their impact, and overviews common treatments. Those who take the 8-hour course to certify as
Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step action plan encompassing the skills, resources and knowledge to help an individual in
crisis connect with appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-help care.
The 8-hour Mental Health First Aid USA course has benefited a variety of audiences and key professions, including: primary
care professionals, employers and business leaders, faith communities, school personnel and educators, state police and
corrections officers, nursing home staff, mental health authorities, state policymakers, volunteers, young people, families and
the general public. For more information visit: http://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/cs/

I’M YOUNG,
BUT
I WASN’T
BORN
YESTERDAY.
I know a good thing when I see it—like health
coverage through Medicaid and CHIP. And I’m
here to talk it up. It’s low-cost or free for children
and teens up to age 19. And parents may be
eligible for Medicaid too. Us kids can get regular
check-ups, shots, doctor and dentist visits,
hospital care, mental health services,
prescriptions and more. And kids in a family
of four earning up to $47,700 a year or
more may qualify.
You can enroll any day of the year, but
why put it off when you can protect
your family (and your finances) today?
To learn more about
affordable health
coverage for your family,
visit HealthCare.gov or
call 1-877-KIDS-NOW.

SOY JOVEN,
PERO NO
NACÍ AYER
Reconozco una cosa buena cuando la veo, como
la cobertura de salud a través de Medicaid y CHIP.
Y yo estoy aquí para hablar sobre esto. Es a bajo
costo o gratis para los niños y adolescentes de
hasta 19 años de edad. Y los padres podrÍan ser
elegibles para Medicaid también. Nosotros
podemos obtener chequeos regulares, vacunas,
visitas al doctor y al dentista, atención
hospitalaria, servicios de salud mental, recetas
y más. Y los niños en una familia de cuatro
que ganan hasta $47,700 al año o más
pueden calificar.
Se puede inscribir cualquier día del año,
pero ¿por qué posponerlo cuando
puede proteger hoy a su familia
(y a sus finanzas)?

cobertura de salud a un
