Mental Health Awareness Day 2018
Oct 22, 2018​
Picture
By:  Autumn Bracey
​PITTSBURG, Kan. - Crawford County Mental Health hosted its second annual Mental Health Awareness Day. 
The goal is to raise awareness for treating and understanding mental illnesses.
Vendors from local non profits, government entities, and businesses showcased the resources they have available. 
There was also inflatables, door prizes, a raffle and a silent auction. 
Crawford County Mental Health representatives say there's a lack of awareness because some people are afraid, or simply don't know how to approach the difficult topic.

It's great to have this many people come out we had over 50 vendors we had a lot of community members coming out showing their support..we had clients we had employees um it's just a really great event." said Heather Spaur, Crawford County Mental Health

" I have friends that struggle with depression, and like having this here brings more awareness I guess. It just means a lot because it means people actually do care in our community." said Mackenzie, Frontenac Resident 

Organizations plans to hold the event again next year on the third Sunday in October.
They will be looking for additional vendors looking to participate.

Youth Mental Health First  Aid 8-Hour Course

April 11th, 2017 8:00-5:30 pm

Someone you know could be experiencing a mental illness or crisis. You can help them. You are more likely to encounter someone — friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, or member of the community — in an emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack. Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches a 5-step action plan to offer initial help to people with the signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in a crisis, and connect them with the appropriate professional, peer, social, or self help care. Anyone age 18 or older can take the 8-hour Youth Mental Health First Aid course — first responders, students, teachers, leaders of faith communities, human resources professionals, and caring citizens.
