MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID
Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training course that teaches participants about mental health and substance-use issues.
We can all think of someone who has been faced with mental health or substance use challenges. Someone we love, work with, go to school with or all the above. It can be daunting to reach out when you don’t know how to best support them. But don’t you wish you had tools to help?
Providing vital support for our community
When you give to Goodfellows, you can:
- Help families stay in their homes
- Provide food and meal vouchers
- Provide clothes for school-age children
- Purchase diapers for families

A Look At Poverty In The Metro
It’s been 58 years since President Johnson launched a war on poverty in response to a national poverty rate around 19%. And while the U.S. poverty rate is now much lower, many of the outdated stereotypes persist. The story we often hear about poverty isn’t true.
