The Lake County Health Department is not currently accepting applications for its next
Mental Health First Aid instructor training course.
Trainees will learn how to teach the Adult Mental Health First Aid course, including the five-step
action plan, evidence-supported treatment, and self-help strategies.
We are looking for applicants who have:
- Empathy towards individuals with behavioral health challenges
- Enthusiasm for reducing stigma associated with mental illness
- A general knowledge of mental health and substance use issues
- Experience teaching adults and facilitating groups
- Understanding of best practices in adult learning
The three day in-person training, which normally costs $2,200 per person, is offered for free to qualified applicants. This
training will take place in Waukegan, Illinois.
All applicants must work or reside in Lake County.
In exchange, individuals who take the course agree to teach three Mental Health First Aid classes.
