<p class="MsoNormal">Washington-Centerville Public Library has partnered with <b>
Mental Health America of Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio</b> to offer two free Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainings this summer — Adult MHFA on August 6 and Youth MHFA on August 20. This training equips you to recognize the signs of a mental health
or substance use issue. It gives you the tools and confidence to take action and help.
<br>
<br>
Each class will be 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM, at Woodbourne Library, 6060 Far Hills Ave. Both are blended in-person courses, so there is a required 2-hour pre-work assignment that must be completed prior to the start of the live training.<br>
