How to Help a Troubled Soul

Did you know that nearly 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. lives with a mental illness? Would you like to know more?

At an introductory session, Katrina Robinson, Outreach Director at Starting Point Behavioral Healthcare, will explain how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders.

This training gives attendees the necessary skills to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect that person to the appropriate care.

The program will be at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, July 20 at Story & Song Bookstore, 1430 Park Ave., Fernandina Beach.

There is no charge and no need for reservations.
