Substance Abuse and Addiction Resource Guide
Building Assets and Reducing Risks
The following are resources on building assets and reducing risks in youth. The more assets youths have, and the fewer risks, the more likely they are to make good decisions about their health. Youth with many assets and few risk factors are much more likely to avoid harmful substance use and other high risk activities.
Mental Health First Aid
Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and substance use concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.
Board staff can provide Adult and Youth Mental Health First Aid training. The eight-hour course is offered to individuals and groups. For more information, see the brochure below, visit the MHFA website or contact the Board.
