MHFA encompasses two curricula: a core program tailored for adults called Adult Mental Health First Aid and Youth Mental Health First Aid, a training program for adults that work with youth.

The World Vision Experience is a mobile exhibit that travels through the US, providing an opportunity for people to experience what it’s like to live on the margins of society around the world. During a 15-minute “journey" through the Experience, participants will be guided through the stories of three families living in poverty around the world, and hear how these families have found hope and healing through God’s love and the work of World Vision. You can watch a brief trailer for the Experience at worldvisionexperience.org
This exhibit is a powerful tool that will inspire your congregation and community to take action and follow God’s call to serve the poor, forgotten, and oppressed around the world. I encourage you to announce this event during one of your services, and invite your church to attend.

Thursday, July 7 from noon to 8:00 PM
