Just as CPR training prepares people without medical backgrounds to help someone who is having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid trains people to help someone who is at risk of developing a mental health problem or who is going through a mental health crisis. In this episode we're joined by Jordann Doler, Mental Health First Aid Program Manager for Valley Cities Behavioral Health Care. Jordann shares her own mental health journey which led to her work in social services, and explains how Mental Health First Aid training can help save lives.    In addition to offering free MHFA Training courses, Valley Cities provides inpatient and outpatient mental health and substance use disorder treatment, along with support services for adults, children, and families living in King County. Presented by C89.5 in partnership with Seattle Children's, Coping 101 is an ongoing series led by students in Nathan Hale High School's Podcast Club that destigmatizes mental health from a teen's perspective, made possible with local support from Hansmire Builders and Audian. No matter our age or background we all face challenges, and there are healthy ways to cope.
