Feds Fund Mental Health First Aid Program in State
Three North Dakota health organizations have teamed to receive a $375,000 federal grant to establish a mental health first aid program in North Dakota.
The Tribal Health Program of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in Ft. Yates, ND, partnered with the Center for Rural Health at the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Grand Forks, ND, and West River Health Services in Hettinger, ND, to apply for the competitive grant from the federal Office of Rural Health Policy. The grant program is designed to encourage the development of new and innovative health care delivery systems in rural communities that lack essential health care services.
The mental health first aid program developed through this grant over the next three years will be the first of its kind in the nation. Similar to basic first aid courses that many Americans take to provide immediate help to physical injuries, mental health first aid helps people learn how to provide initial support to those showing signs of mental health problems or in a mental health crisis until appropriate professional treatment is received.
