THE 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) IDENTIFIED MENTAL HEALTH AS ONE OF THE TOP COMMUNITY NEEDS IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. ONE WAY ORLANDO HEALTH ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WAS BY IMPLEMENTING A TRAINING PROGRAM THAT HELPS ONLOOKERS LEARN SKILLS TO ASSIST SOMEONE IN A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. THIS TRAINING IS FREE OF CHARGE TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS EITHER IN PERSON OR VIRTUALLY. THE CURRICULUM IS PROVIDED THROUGH THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF MENTAL WELLBEING. IT IS DESIGNED FOR BYSTANDERS WHO MAY HAVE LITTLE TO NO MEDICAL TRAINING BUT MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INITIAL SUPPORT TO SOMEONE IN MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS UNTIL THEY ARE CONNECTED WITH APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL HELP.
