Hello Shannon, I am hoping that you can help me with this...I signed up for this training but didn't get any confirmation or further information about it in my email. I just want to make sure that I am indeed registered for the class because I see now that it's full. I signed up March 3rd. Thanks, Shae ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Cory Grimminck <cgrimminck(a)portlandmilibrary.com> Date: Mon, Mar 8, 2021 at 2:55 PM Subject: Fwd: [Michlib-l] Receive a certificate in Mental Health First Aid for Adults or Youth To: Shae Stoddard <sstoddard(a)portlandmilibrary.com> I got your email regarding this training . . . you could try contacting Shannon, as she's the one who originally sent it out. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: White, Shannon (MDE) via Michlib-l <michlib-l(a)mcls.org> Date: Mon, Mar 1, 2021 at 8:24 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] Receive a certificate in Mental Health First Aid for Adults or Youth To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org <michlib-l(a)mcls.org> Like CPR, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person in crisis and connect the person with help. First Aiders do not take on the role of professionals — they do not diagnose or provide any counseling or therapy. Instead, the program offers concrete tools and answers key questions, like “what do I do?” and “where can someone find help?” Certified Mental Health First Aid instructors provide a list of community healthcare providers and national resources, support groups, and online tools for mental health and addictions treatment and support. All trainees receive a program manual to compliment the course material. Mental Health First Aid training includes a 2-hour self-paced course, followed by a 5.5 hour instructor led training. Participants who do not complete the self-paced portion or attend the full instructor led day will not be eligible to receive a certificate of completion. The Library of Michigan is offering two sessions through MSU Extension of the training, you may choose to attend a training focusing on adults or a training focusing on youth. Because LM is only able to fund a small number of seats for this certification opportunity, please be aware that only ONE staff member from each library/outlet can attend these sessions. Because seating is so limited and a specialized certification is issued, you will need to agree to a number of stipulations and complete the pre-registration application <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsurvey.al…> before we send the registration link. View more details in pre-registration application link. This link will be open through Friday, March 5. Participants who do not complete the self-paced portion, attend the full instructor led day, or do not complete the post-work and evaluation will not be eligible to receive a certificate of completion. Cancellations must be received at least three business days prior to the class. Alternates are encouraged for those who register but cannot attend. Participants who do not complete the self-paced portion or attend the full instructor led day will not be eligible to receive a certificate of completion. Participants who register for a training and fail to cancel at least three business days prior and no-show will be charged a $50 cancellation fee. *This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. * Shannon White Library Development Manager Library of Michigan, 702 W.

HI Clare, Could you please direct me to where I can find the recording link for the recent Millage Webinar? Blair Nelson Director Spies Public Library P: (906) 863-2900 blairn(a)uproc.lib.mi.us <http://www.spiespubliclibrary.org/> www.spiespubliclibrary.org "The life of every person is a diary in which we mean to write one story, and write another; and our humblest hour is when we compare the volume as it is with what we vowed to make it"-James M. Barrie "Librarians are not custodians of books. They are or ought to be guides to books. They cannot consider their work done until they have books in the hands of readers and until they have the contents of those books in the minds and thinking of citizens."--Pearl S. Buck
