Law Elder Law hosted the mental health first aid training seminar that is taught by mental health professionals from Linden Oaks hospital located in Naperville, Illinois.
Over 20 professionals attended the 3 four hour course. Professionals from Illinois Math and Science Academy, Senior Services from Dekalb, Kane and Kendall Counties, Kane County States Attorneys office, and the Larkin Center were some of the individuals that attended the sessions.
Basics in mental health were covered along with learning how to deal with individuals who were in crisis. After completion of the class, the professionals were certified as first responders to mental health crisis.
12 continuing education units were offered for social workers and nurses when the class was completed.
“We would be lost without Law Elder Law! We walked in their doors over a year ago feeling lost and confused. With a father/father-in-law suffering from Alzheimer’s, we were overwhelmed by the Medicaid process, selling his home, protecting the assets he worked for his entire life, and finding him a memory-care facility that we could trust as his new home.
Law Elder Law helped with all of it! From the minute we walked out of our first meeting, we knew we (and he) were in good hands. We could not have possibly navigated all that had to be done without their expertise.”
