Yesterday, our team came together for our annual "Bunch of Blessings" event to share an early Thanksgiving lunch and reflect on our shared gratitude. The atmosphere was filled with warmth as many staff members shared personal thanks, highlighting the strong community we've built here.

The Center's leadership is incredibly thankful for every one of our wonderful employees who strive daily toward our vital mission: "Working Together to Help People Help Themselves". Your dedication is the true blessing we celebrate.

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.

On Wednesday, Jason Vaquera, Mental Health First Aid Coordinator/Outreach Worker and Erika Aime Baeza, Mental Health Awareness Training Coordinator, conducted an Adult Mental Health First Aid course for 10 MHMR Concho Valley employees, 1 regional manager with Goodwill and 1 student intern. The participants now have valuable tools to assist an adult who may be facing a mental health crisis or substance use challenge.

If you are interested in becoming MHFA certified, please contact Jason Vaquera or Erika Aime Baeza at 325-658-7750 ext. 381.
