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!

Daniella W. reported to the group that during a group activity Zeke noticed that she didn't have any cards to work with. Without hesitation he gave her his card.

Daniel M. in Kindergarten had noticed that Amelia had hurt her finger and got her a Band-Aid. 

Amelia P. in TK noticed that Daniel M. was sitting alone  and she invited him to play."

Max M. in TK notified a teacher about a bathroom door that was locked and then helped unlock it.

Jacob W. in TK helped Zeke spell the word “jail” as he had it as a key word.
