Did you know Care Design NY offers Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training to all Care Managers and care management leadership? During the month of February, Care Design NY's Provider Relations Specialist, Gordon Collier, LCSW and Director of Behavioral Health, Michelle Israel, LCSW, trained nearly 200 Care Manager supervisors, directors and regional directors. Care Design NY's goal is to increase awareness and teach the skills needed to provide initial help and support to individuals who may be developing a mental health or substance use condition or is experiencing a crisis. | | | |
In the Mental Health First Aid course, staff learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help. After becoming a certified mental health first-aider, Care Design Care Managers will: - Recognize the potential risk factors and warning signs for a range of mental health problems, including: depression, anxiety/trauma, psychosis and psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, and self-injury.
- Use a 5-step action plan to help an individual in crisis connect with appropriate professional help.
- Interpret the prevalence of various mental health disorders in the U.S. and the need for reduced negative attitudes in their communities.
- Apply knowledge of the appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-help resources available to help someone with a mental health problem treat and manage the problem and achieve recovery.
