Distance learning, in-person learning, a hybrid of the two, has children and parents hard put to know what to do and how to prepare for the upcoming school year, which in turn leads to stress and anxiety.

Newport Mental Health in conjunction with the national Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)for Adults Assisting Youth is hosting a 6 hour certification course with lots of interactive scenarios, videos, lively discussions and more, with a focus on parents.

The instructor-led portion of the course will be held Tues and Wed. Aug. 18-19 from 5-7 PM. A one to two hour self-paced portion will begin after registration period ends, which will be August 5.
