Mental Health First Aid Training 3/15/24

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:
Friday, March 15th, 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.

Events and News
Hello folks! I hope you are doing well! I am writing from Washington, D.C., participating in the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) National Legislative Summit with Board Chair & Trustee Rebecca Chan and Trustee James Stark. Community College representatives from across the country are here to meet with members of the U.S. Congress and/or their staff to advocate for students and community colleges. It has been a wonderful experience to connect with presidents, trustees, and students, as well as learn more about their colleges and the great work being done to serve students and our communities.
A team of us from Washington first met with Senator Murray. She was extremely busy but spent some time thanking us for coming and describing some of the projects she was working on. She emphasized her support of community colleges and all that we do. She also mentioned that she once taught at Shoreline Community College! And yes, after she mentioned that, Trustee Chan and I did cheer! After her presentation, her aide Abby Laver sat with our team and engaged in the conversation. Students from some of our sister colleges began the conversation discussing some of their challenges including food insecurity, childcare, and financial aid. The focus was on expanding the PELL for short-time programs, helping with the delayed FAFSA roll out, assistance with workforce programs, and other topics. We also had a great team meeting with King County folks from the Seattle district, and we met with Representative Pramila Jayapal. She was amazing. She sat with us for about twenty minutes and discussed similar topics, and some of the roadblocks she (and some of her other colleagues) have been struggling with recently. She was very open and warm to us, and it was really wonderful to know she is on our side! Her aide Michael Bauduy was really great as well. I’m so glad we strengthened these relationships.
It has been a great conference but I’m ready to return to Shoreline. I will be recording the February monthly update video with a special guest! Get ready! Hope you had a great week.
Cheers,
Jack
