Yesterday, the Mental Health First Aid team of Jason Vaquera, Mental Health First Aid Coordinator/Outreach Worker and Erika Aime Baeza, Mental Health Awareness Training Coordinator, taught Adult Mental Health First Aid to 5 Howard College - San Angelo employees and 2 community members.

This training equips people with the tools to assist individuals who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. Participants learned to recognize early warning signs, worsening signs and symptoms, and crisis signs and symptoms, and how to provide support using the Mental Health First Aid Action Plan.

If you would like to learn how to make a difference and help reduce the stigma associated with mental health, please contact Jason Vaquera or Erika Aime Baeza at 325-658-7750, ext. 381.

Do you know what it means to be Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) certified? Mental Health First Aid is a free, evidence-based, training program that teaches participants how to identify, understand, and respond to the signs and symptoms of mental and substance use disorders. This training equips attendees with the skills to reach out and provide initial help and support to someone experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis.

The Health and Human Services Commission designed a survey to collect data on the impact of Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training in Texas. During fiscal year 2025, the survey was distributed to 52,735 people. The results show that individuals are learning more and applying the skills they acquired in MHFA training.

If you'd like to learn more about MHFA or attend one of our free trainings, please contact Jason Vaquera or Erika Aime Baeza at (325) 658-7750 ext 381.
