If you are interested in “being one in a million” (a mental health first aid responder) you can check for training opportunities on the NAMI Maine Website or let me know and I’ll try to help. Having been trained for both youth and adults I can tell you that I’ve never once regretted it.

The blog for the National Council for Behavioral Health is featuring stores about mental health among veterans during the month of November.  This is a great opportunity to “get the facts” and be prepared to help those who have done so much for us.

Maybe when we thank a veteran for his or her service we should also ask, “How are you doing?” Human connection is powerful and doesn’t need to be difficult.
