Mental Health First Aide (MHFA)

2-Day Course

Just as a first aid class helps one to respond in a medical emergency, mental health first aid helps people learn how to respond to a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. This 8-hour training, broken down into two four hours classes, gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect them to the appropriate care.

Havdalah Highlights

We start each week gathered together as a school for a Havdalah ceremony, during which we highlight students who we have noticed acting in ways that carry out our mission. Because we are so proud of our students, we wanted to share their stories with you!

3^rd graders Rose K. and Ora K. noticed that friends did not have a stuffed animal for the third grade spirit day. So they shared one of theirs so that everyone could participate.

To the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade handball players: It is so nice to see you all playing and having fun together, across grade levels.

6th grader Ori B. saw that one of his peers was cut and that the cut began to swell. He took the teacher aside to let them know, so they could assist the injured student.
