Mental Health First Aid for Older Adults (2 day class)

Become a certified Mental Health First Aider to help older adults.

Improve quality of life and learn how to assist and support older adults who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge by getting certified in an evidence-based, early-intervention training program. Older adults have high rates of late-onset mental health challenges, like anxiety and depression, and low rates of identification and treatment. Whether you need to assist today or years from now, this certification gives you the confidence you need to have the conversations that will allow older adults to live as comfortably as possible.

Date/time: Monday, March 23 & Tuesday, March 24, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. This is an 8-hour in-person class, split over two mornings.

The class is cost-free. A day pass is required for attendance at the Highlands Ranch Senior Center, which can be purchased upon entry. The cost is $2.50 for Highlands Ranch residents or $3.00 for non-residents.
