ORLANDO HEALTH BAYFRONT HOSPITAL AWARDED MORE THAN $204,000 IN GRANT FUNDING FOR 10 COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, WHICH LAUNCHED IN OCTOBER 2023. AMONG THE PROGRAMS ARE - MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING: IN FY2024, ORLANDO HEALTH CONTINUED RESPONDING TO AN IDENTIFIED NEED FOR ENHANCED MENTAL HEALTHCARE THROUGH A MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING PROGRAM. THE 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) IDENTIFIED MENTAL HEALTH AS ONE OF THE TOP COMMUNITY NEEDS IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. IN ALL COUNTIES, SURVEY RESPONDENTS RANKED MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS, INCLUDING SUICIDE, AS EITHER THE NO. 1 OR NO. 2 NEED TO ADDRESS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. ONE WAY ORLANDO HEALTH ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WAS BY IMPLEMENTING A TRAINING PROGRAM THAT HELPS ONLOOKERS LEARN SKILLS TO ASSIST SOMEONE IN A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. THIS TRAINING IS FREE OF CHARGE TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS EITHER IN PERSON OR VIRTUALLY. THE CURRICULUM IS PROVIDED THROUGH THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF MENTAL WELLBEING. IT IS DESIGNED FOR BYSTANDERS WHO MAY HAVE LITTLE TO NO MEDICAL TRAINING BUT MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INITIAL SUPPORT TO SOMEONE IN MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS UNTIL THEY ARE CONNECTED WITH APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL HELP. THROUGH COMMUNITY-SPECIFIC SCENARIOS, ACTIVITIES AND VIDEOS, COURSE PARTICIPANTS LEARN COMMON SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE CHALLENGES, HOW TO INTERACT WITH A PERSON IN CRISIS AND HOW TO CONNECT A PERSON TO HELP AND RESOURCES IN THE COMMUNITY. SINCE LAUNCHING IN MAY 2023, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED FOUR MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINERS AT ORLANDO HEALTH. WE HAVE TAUGHT 21 CLASSES TO 235 PARTICIPANTS. OF THOSE PARTICIPANTS WHO ATTENDED CLASS, MORE THAN 80% SAY THEY ARE MORE AWARE OF MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES THAN PRIOR TO TAKING THE COURSE. FOUNDATION FOR A HEALTHY ST.
