SUMMARY:2026 Mental Health First Aid Training
DESCRIPTION:Join Northwestern Ohio Synod\, in collaboration with Maumee Valley Guidance Center\, for a Mental Health First Aid Training! \n\n \n\n\nThe training will be held on September 30th\, 2026\, from 8:30am – 4:30pm at New Creation Church in Ottawa. There are only 40 seats available\, so grab your seat soon!\n\n\n \n\n\nMental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an evidence-based training program that teaches adults how to identify\, understand\, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges.

To learn more about this training\, visit this link on the Maumee Valley Guidance Center website: https://maumeevalleyguidancecenter.org/mental-health-first-aid/\n\n\n \n\n\nTo register for this training\, please visit the following link: https://nwos-elca.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/122/responses/new
