Supporting coworkers and community with Mental Health First Aid
In the busy-ness of the workplace, mental health often takes a backseat. For Seva Reilly, becoming a Mental Health First Aider has been a transformative journey, enabling her to support
her colleagues. “My MHFA training has helped me have the courage to ask the question, ‘How are you doing?’ and to deeply listen to the response, to hear what is not said, to create
space for sharing, and to encourage the people in my life to practice self-care.” Read her story here. <https://www.mmsend50.com/link.cfm?r=b_5cxdcAxAVR3h0NaLyCOA~~&pe=p8phDwAp_nT_PuI43KFsCbiMIYxnNj
