Reply to "Good and Bad mental health programs"

In reply to the original statement. I to have taken the 8 hour class on Mental Health First Aid. I compare the relevance of the course to Emergency CPR. Training of the general public to take away the stigma of not knowing what to do in the event of a cardiac arrest. Image in the original curriculum where you would make mouth to mouth contact with a stranger.

Mental Health First Aid will contribute to the removal of the stigma of, what do I do when someone is having a meltdown from issues related to mental health.

I have taken two courses on "Suicide Prevention" and "Suicide Intervention". After completing both courses I thought "They want me to do what?". The courage for intervention will only meet the level of the comfort of the student.

So what I'm tiring to say is, fewer people will turn a blind eye to someone in need of mental health first aid, emotional first aid or what ever buzz phrase you would want to use.
