Empowering Through Mental Health Education
EveryMind is deeply committed to enhancing the mental health of individuals in Maryland and the National Capital Region. As part of our core mission, we place significant emphasis on community education, firmly believing that informed community members can enact transformative change. Our diverse range of educational initiatives is carefully designed to dismantle the barriers and stigma that often surround mental health, fostering a culture that values mental health care and support above all.
Our Commitment to Evidence-Based Education
At the heart of our educational efforts are our Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) and Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) trainings, both cornerstones of our evidence-based curriculum approach. These programs embody our goal to empower every segment of our community with knowledge and practical skills in mental health support.
Mental Health First Aid
As a designated local administrator of MHFA, EveryMind offers comprehensive 8-hour training sessions tailored to Adults, Youth, and Military, Veterans, and their Families. These sessions are conducted by certified Mental Health First Aid USA instructors and aim to equip participants with the necessary tools to assist someone experiencing a mental health challenge or crisis.
Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR)
QPR training stands as a testament to our dedication to suicide prevention. This evidence-based program is tailored for anyone pivotal in a young person’s life, including parents and caregivers. QPR’s framework is built on teaching individuals to recognize the warning signs, and successfully question, persuade, and refer those at risk—making a significant difference during the critical moments of a crisis.
