Crisis Response Network Mental Health Awareness Training in Arizona - Crisis Response Network (CRN) will provide evidence based Mental Health First Aid curriculum to adults in Arizona, focusing on first responders, school personnel, veterans and military, health workers and general community members to reduce mental health disparities in our communities. CRN will provide trainings statewide in collaboration with community partners who will host our events. Individuals who attend CRN's mental health awareness trainings will receive a three-year certification in Mental Health First Aid as well as a resource manual to guide them in assisting others and making referrals after the training is complete. CRN proposes to train three courses per month, with an average of 12 attendees per course. CRN will train at least 36 individuals per month over the course of five years - which will lead to an additional 2,160 individuals being certified in critical Mental Health First Aid in Arizona. Through this grant CRN will increase recognition of signs and symptoms of common mental illnesses, increase positive attitudes resulting from decreased stigma around individuals with mental health problems, enhance confidence in the provision of help to an individual experiencing mental health symptoms and increase knowledge of mental health support and treatment resources in Arizona.
