They’ve approved for staff to take Mental Health First Aid Training.
Leifa Misko, Board Trustee for MVSD, explains an acronym about the training.
“There’s an acronym they use, ALGAE. Basically its assess, listen, give reassurance, and encourage the young person or adult to get any necessary treatments or help they need.”
