Addictions Training Institute – Take Action This Month: Mental Health First  AidOne of our Rotary Districts target topics this year is Mental Health.

OK, so you are in a problem situation...what do you do? Who do you call? Is this a 911-issue, or just a need for a friendly face?

Tory Bright and her team will give us a brief over view of the Mental Health First Aid. Please sign-up for this all-important Rotary topic on March 13.

The full program is available to all, in-person or virtual. We hope to get your interest.
