Are you interested in being able to assist someone experiencing a mental health related crisis or non-crisis situation and where to turn for help?

Before you can know how to help, you need to know when to help.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognized program designed to build mental health literacy within our communities — or a basic understanding of what different mental health illnesses and addictions are, how they can affect a person’s daily life, and what helps individuals experiencing these challenges get well.

You will learn about: 

·  Depression and mood disorders
·  Anxiety disorders
·  Trauma
·  Psychosis
·  Substance Use disorders
·  How to help someone who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide or harm

Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency — the belief that individuals experiencing these challenges can and do get better, and use their strengths to stay well.

Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack — even with no clinical training — becoming a Mental Health First Aider will train you to provide initial help to people experiencing mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis and substance use disorders as well as how to help someone who may be experiencing thoughts of harm or suicide.

This 9-hour training is FREE to Shoreline Community College employees and students and will be offered in two (2) – 4.5 hour sessions:

Friday, February 16 AND Friday, February 23 from 11:00 am – 3:30 pm (Bring your lunch – and an afternoon snack will be provided).

You MUST attend BOTH training sessions to receive a MHFA handbook and become a certified Mental Health First Aider.

Please email Sheryl Copeland at scopeland@shoreline.edu to register and/or find out more information. Once registered, details as far as room location, etc. will be shared.

Be well!!  – Sheryl Copeland and Gwyn Hoffman-Robinson (training facilitators)

Shoreline Early Alert

January 23, 2018 by Leave a Comment

To all Faculty and Staff:

We’d like to remind you about Shoreline Early Alert (SEA). SEA is designed to provide academic intervention to students encountering difficulty in the pursuit of their academic goals. We recognize that intervention is a process and may not produce immediate results. That is why it is our goal is to reach out to the student early in the quarter and connect them to the appropriate resources. Your referrals are extremely important in supporting our students!

MAKE A REFERRAL!
Use the SEA Referral Form to make a referral. A SEA Team member will respond within 24 hours by reaching out to the student. We will continue to provide outreach to the student in order to connect with them and then send a follow up to you, the referrer.

Examples of SEA referrals include: 

  • Low test or quiz scores
  • Difficulties with attendance, tardiness, or pacing with class
  • Excessive missing assignments
  • Lack of participation or communication
  • Connecting to support and resources
  • External concerns (e.g. family issues, financial matters)

Please visit our intranet site to learn more about SEA or to locate the Referral Form.

We look forward to our continued partnership with you to support our students!

Thanks,
SEA Team
Lianne Almughirah, Carrie Bayless, Jennifer Coogan
