Resiliency Essentials Helping to Keep You Healthy
Resiliency is the ability to recover quickly during stressful times, and essentials are activities that are so important you need to do them on a regular basis. At Makin’ It Happen, (MIH) we are working with our partners in the community to promote Resiliency Essential programs focusing on prevention and mental health wellness.
MIH is pleased to offer several trainings and presentations to our local community organizations, free of charge! Read more below.

Adult Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid for Adults teaches people how to recognize signs of mental health or substance use challenges in adults ages 18 and older, how to offer and provide initial help, and how to guide a person toward appropriate care if necessary. This course includes 2 hours of self-study to be completed and an additional 6 hours of instruction (which can be broken into two sessions). Participants will receive a training manual and certification upon completion of the course. Find out more about Adult Mental Health First Aid here.
Suicide Prevention Training
QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is a national, evidence-based suicide prevention program founded over 20 years ago. Like CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), QPR is designed to increase survival in the face of a crisis. It trains you to recognize warning signs, and question, persuade, and refer someone to get the help they need.
Find out more about QPR here.
Talk Saves Lives
Talk Saves Lives is American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s (AFSP) standardized, 45–60-minute education program that provides participants with a clear understanding of suicide, including the most up-to-date research on suicide prevention, and what they can do in their communities to save lives. Participants will learn common risk factors and warning signs associated with suicide, and how to keep themselves and others safe. Find out more about Talk Saves Lives here.
