Mental illness, substance use, and suicide impact our community, our families, and our friends. Help is often as close as someone starting a conversation. Learn about starting that conversation by taking a Mental Health First Aid course, offered at FBCP on Saturday, April 22 from 9 am – 3 pm, led by Ted Thomas. The cost is only $25 per participant and includes lunch. This course is designed to equip non-professionals to have conversations with friends and family about mental health challenges. No previous experience or training is required. Start the registration process online using the link below. You can pay for the course during the registration process, or bring a check payable to “First Baptist Church of Pendleton” on the day of the course. After registering, you will receive an email with additional information. If you have any questions about the course, please contact Ted Thomas at ted@tedthomas.us.
