Adult Programs

Parents, teachers, coaches, and caregivers are essential in helping reduce youth suicide. We offer training programs, free webinars, and abundant resources to help them learn more about how they can help reduce risk and support kids in need.

Teen Mental Health First Aid Session

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a training program brought to the United States by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing in partnership with the Misssouri Department of Mental Health. Certified instructors teach adults how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges in adults ages 18 and older, how to provide initial help, and how to guide a person toward appropriate care if necessary.

What do participants learn?

  • Common signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges

  • How to interact with a person in crisis

  • How to connect a person with help.

  • Expanded content on trauma, substance use, and self-care

Gabriel’s Light has a certified trainer that will teach participants lessons during a 7.5 hour in-person session. Contact us for dates, times, and locations or to schedule a session for parents at your school, at your office, or at your church.
