Are you interested in being able to assist someone experiencing a mental health related crisis or non-crisis situation and where to turn for help?
Before you can know how to help, you need to know when to help.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognized program designed to build mental health literacy within our communities — or a basic understanding of what different mental health illnesses and addictions are, how they can affect a person’s daily life, and what helps individuals experiencing these challenges get well.
You will learn about:
· Depression and mood disorders
· Anxiety disorders
· Trauma
· Psychosis
· Substance Use disorders
· How to help someone who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide or harm
Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency — the belief that individuals experiencing these challenges can and do get better, and use their strengths to stay well.
Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack — even with no clinical training — becoming a Mental Health First Aider will train you to provide initial help to people experiencing mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis, and substance use disorders as well as how to help someone who may be experiencing thoughts of harm or suicide.
This 9-hour training is FREE to Shoreline Community College employees and students and will be offered in two (2) – 4.5-hour sessions:
Friday, October 6 AND Friday, October 13 from 11:30 am – 4:00 pm (Bring your lunch – an afternoon snack will be provided).
You MUST attend BOTH training sessions to receive a MHFA handbook and become a certified Mental Health First Aider.
Please email Sheryl Copeland at scopeland@shoreline.edu to register and/or find out more information. Once registered, details as far as room location, etc. will be shared.

Local Action / Global Impact
Mayor Marilyn Strickland, City of Tacoma
Thursday, October 19, 2017, 7:00 – 8:30pm, Room 9208
The phrase “think global, act local” is a call to arms of local activism. It is probably most strongly associated with environmental issues, but has been used in many other policy realms as well, including trade, immigration, transportation, healthcare, and education.

U.S.-Russian relations seem to have reached a low point since the end of the Cold War in 1990. From confrontations in Europe and the Middle East, and accusations of Russian meddling in U.S. elections have produced a “tenuous” bilateral relationship. Is it the new/old normal?

Wed., Sept. 20 is the last day to register for the free DACA Renewal Legal Clinic and Q&A being held on Everett Community College’s campus Fri., Sept. 22 from 6-9 p.m. at the Jackson Conference Center located at 2000 Tower Street in Everett, WA.
We are encouraging DACA recipients whose document is expiring between September 5, 2017 and March 5, 2018 to register for this legal clinic via email to Giselle Cárcamo at gcarcamo@ipjc.org by September 20 so we can set the time of their appointment.
A message from the organizers of the free DACA legal clinic:
Dear community members, providers, and partner organizations:
Responding to a community need for organizing a DACA-related event in Snohomish County, the Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center has reached out to our partners at the Washington Dream Coalition (WDC), Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP), Colectiva Legal del Pueblo and the Washington State Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) to assist DACA recipients who qualify for renewal in this underserved area.
Everett Community College has generously offered space and resources for us to host a free DACA Renewal Legal Clinic and Q&A that will take place on Friday, September, 22 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm at Everett Community College, Jackson Conference Center located at 2000 Tower Street Everett, WA 98201.
We hope to reach out to young adults in Snohomish and Skagit counties to participate in the legal clinic, but any DACA recipients will be welcomed until we reach capacity.
This event will be two-fold: while lawyers are assisting DACA recipients with their paperwork, members of the Washington Dream Coalition and Colectiva will give important updates and provide resources on continuing education and organizing for action to community members interested in the topic that are not necessarily participating in the clinic.
We are encouraging DACA recipients whose document is expiring between September 5, 2017 and March 5, 2018 to register for this legal clinic via email to Giselle Cárcamo at gcarcamo@ipjc.org by September 20 so we can set the time of their appointment.
All the very best,
