Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health · Ohio · Free

National program teaching how to help someone experiencing a mental health crisis. A starting point for anyone burned by past providers who pathologized identity or pushed conversion practices. Telehealth options are widely available; useful if you're in a state with limited in-person affirming providers. Conversion therapy is banned for minors in 20+ states; if a provider hints at 'change' work, leave and report. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Ohio residents and the people supporting them.
