Full course description
The Mental Health Awareness and Action (MHAA) curriculum helps participants learn three processes:
- identify warning signs of mental health concerns,
- locate high-quality mental health resources, and
- respond to those who are experiencing mental health concerns.
Through engaging in interactive activities, the MHAA trainings help participants notice and respond to warning signs of mental health concerns and refer those who are experiencing mental health concerns to high-quality, evidence-based resources. The primary purpose of this training is to educate and increase the confidence of community members so they can help prevent mental health concerns from occurring or worsening.
For those working in the agricultural industry and regularly coming into contact with farmer/ranchers/agricultural workers, you'll have a toolbox of evidence-based skills that can help prevent mental health concerns from occurring or worsening.
The material is broken down to mini-lessons that can be completed independently or as an entire course. While we believe that the course works best by completing every module, each module is developed as a stand-alone product so that if you are on time constraints you can work on one skill at a time and add them to your toolbox.
