Free Mental Health First Aid Training Offered at Shoreline Community College!

Shoreline Community College Counseling Center is offering free Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for our campus community. MHFA is a research-supported international education program developed to teach adults how to recognize and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges. MHFA is a skills-based course that gives people the tools to assist someone who might be struggling with mental health or substance use challenges and connect them with appropriate support and resources. To date, 2.5 million people across the United States have been trained in MHFA.

Just as CPR helps those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, MHFA prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step Action Plan that guides them through reaching out and offering appropriate support.

With support from the Counseling Center, this training (valued at $170.00/participant) is FREE to Shoreline Community College employees and students.

Training Details:

We are currently offering a blended training which includes:

  • 2-hour, self-paced online training prior to the in-person training and
  • 6.5 hour in-person training

This quarter’s in-person training is scheduled for:

Thursday, May 30th, 9:00am-3:30pm

The self-paced online training must be completed prior to attending the in-person training.  You must complete the online and in-person training to become a certified Mental Health First Aider. MHFA certification lasts for 3 years.

Please email Gwyn Hoffman-Robinson at gehoffman@shoreline.edu to register and/or find out more information. Please note registration is limited and a waiting list will be started when capacity is reached. Once registered, details as far as room location, etc. will be shared.

Campus Updates 4/26/25

Events and News 

Hello all—wow what a week! 

The accreditation visit went extremely well. Thank you to all who attended the “exit” presentation late Friday afternoon. The excitement in the room was palpable as the accreditation team shared their comments. The team commented on nearly every aspect of the College- from the report itself, our beautiful grounds, the hard work faculty and staff have put in to focus on data and learning outcomes, our awesome deans—really seeing how this work involves all of us to move forward and continue to shift our focus to planning, use of data and outcomes.     

Consider this one of many thank yous from me. Everyone really took this to the next level! 

Next Steps: 

  1. They have sent Dr. Ann and me a draft report to allow us to comment on any factual errors 
  1. We will get an official report from them (with corrections if appropriate) within a month 
  1. They will send a confidential recommendation to the commission about our accreditation status 
  1. The commission meets in late June and votes on our status  
  1. We hear within one month of that meeting 

So exciting. 

Another exciting update: Due to the great teamwork of Dr. Lucas Rucks, Derek Levy, David Berner, Chippi Bello and the enrollment services team, Shoreline Community College is now a preferred partner and Amazon will market their Pathways Program (Clean Energy) and the Career Choice program (all our programs) in their employee dashboard. 

Finally, just to let you know it is that time of the year when ET is going through innovation grant requests, budget adjustment requests, and staff prioritizations to help prepare for next year’s budget. I will keep you posted and of course share the results when complete. Thanks to all of you who have contributed ideas and suggestions. As was the case last year, we are limited in resources and will only be able to work within the parameters of those resources but will do so within the guidelines suggested by the Strategic Planning Budget Council and with the new Strategic Plan in mind.  

Happy Passover to those who celebrate! 

Cheers, 

Jack
