A.I.D. Training
- Kent
A.I.D. training is offered as part of the More Aware Initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
A.I.D. training is a 60 to 90 minute mental health awareness training that teaches students, faculty, and staff three steps. Training can be taught in-person or virtually.
Awareness: how to recognize the signs and symptoms of students in distress
Interaction: how to effectively interact with students in distress
Direction: how to locate and provide resources to students in distress
Other key components of this training include:
Educating trainees on local and national mental health resources
Practicing scenarios that trainees may experience
Reducing stigma about mental illness and substance use
Promoting self-care
