You are invited to a free day of Youth Mental Health First Aid training at Camp Bethel on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, 9:00am-4:00pm with a 30 minute lunch break.  Snacks and coffee/teas will be provided by Camp Bethel.  Bring your own lunch OR enjoy a $12 Camp Bethel lunch.

To attend, RSVP to Jenna Stacy by May 17 at 540-992-2940  or  CampBethelOffice@gmail.com.  Indicate whether you wish to purchase our $12 lunch.  For more information about Mental Health First Aid, see  www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/cs.   For more information about this specific program at Camp Bethel, conact Jenna Stacy at 540-992-2940  or  CampBethelOffice@gmail.com.

Youth Mental Health First Aid is an 6.5-hour course that teaches participants to recognize and respond to warning signs of mental health issues and crises in adolescents (12-18) and teaches a 5-step action plan for crisis and non-crisis situations.  It is an interactive training with hands-on activities, role plays, and simulations.

WHAT WILL PARTICIPANTS LEARN?
The course teaches participants the risk factors and warning signs of a variety of mental health challenges common among adolescents, including anxiety, depression, psychosis, eating disorders, ADHD, disruptive behavior disorders, and substance use disorder.   Participants do not learn to diagnose, nor how to provide any therapy or counseling; rather, participants learn to support a youth developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in an emotional crisis by applying a core 5-step action plan.

5 Step Action Plan:
Assess for risk of suicide / harm 
Listen non-judgmentally 
Give reassurance & information 
Encourage appropriate professional help 
Encourage self-help support strategies

To attend, RSVP to Jenna by May 17 at 540-992-2940  or  CampBethelOffice@gmail.com.  Indicate whether you wish to purchase our $12 lunch.

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:
"Our son and daughter have been coming to Camp Bethel since they were 5 years old--they are now 13 and 14 years old. We have found that your camp is one of the few that our kids continue to enjoy even as they are older. Other camps (sometimes a lot more expensive) are nice but for some reason the magic of Camp Bethel remains. We also really respect the way that your camp incorporates God and Bible study but in such a way that it is still cool--a rarity these days to find a place where kids can be kids and learn to love God and care for one another in God's creation. Thanks so much for the awesome experience for our kids and the ongoing magic that is Camp Bethel. Thanks, Gina and Chris Engel"
