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!

2nd grader Idan M. and 1^st grader Joel G. helped Zoe in the office during our prospective student play date get snack ready and play with one of the prospective student siblings to make sure he had a fantastic time. 

1st grader Ace F. worked extremely hard to make his IGD performance as fantastic as possible. He served as a role model for his classmates many times during practice and would often help his peers remember dance moves and lyrics.

1st grader Shane G. has been a wonderful new addition to our class. He is a difference maker who always volunteers to help his classmates with their work and consistently greets his friends with a smile.

1st grader Zoe S. rushed to help her teachers multiple times when things were dropped. She is always the first to make sure our class is clean and safe.
