A.I.D. Train the Trainer
Are you interested in becoming an A.I.D. instructor? Our Train the Trainer program is free, and allows organizations to utilize A.I.D. within your own training groups.
As a mental health awareness training, A.I.D.:
Is effective in increasing knowledge about mental health, increasing confidence in interacting with someone experiencing mental distress, and decreasing stigma
Can be delivered in virtual or in-person settings to diverse training audiences
Is modifiable to your training population, including scenarios to practice the A.I.D. action plan
Has been approved for use in 5 SAMHSA funded grants (two MHAT, two Garrett Lee Smith Campus Suicide Prevention Grants, and a More Aware Project)
Can be implemented at little to no cost
Brings the opportunity to train gatekeepers in settings that may not be reached through other mental health trainings due to time and resource constraints
Background information and research to support its effectiveness can be found here:
To date, we have held A.I.D. Train the Trainer sessions in 9 states!
