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!

When a student came late to Havdalah, Maya A. (2^nd grade) made room for her in the class line and put her arm around her to make her part of the group.

When a classmate was upset about a game, Hannah W. (1^st grade) helped dry her tears and made her feel like she had a friend.

Danielle T. (3^rd grade) collected all the coats from everyone in the class and brought them out to the students who forgot their coats. 

3^rd grader Katriella W. reminded everyone to line up in the correct order after recess.

Maya K. (2^nd grade) helped a first grader fold the mats on the pavilion without being asked.

1^st grader Guy M. helped move the trashcans in the auditorium so they will be closer to the students when it was raining outside. He did it with a smile on his face.

4^th grader Jonathan M. is an inclusive and welcoming student who is always willing to work with any friend.
