Elko Area Chamber of Commerce recently issued the following announcement.
Event Name: Adult Mental Health First Aid class
Description:
First Aid courses have taught thousands of people how to respond during medical emergencies, preventing further harm and saving lives. Imagine if we could do the same for mental health emergencies.

The classes are open to all adults. The cost is $15 per person to cover training materials. Participants must attend both sessions of one class to receive certification.
