Mental Health First Aid

Bridges to Wellness and Ozark Guidance collaborated to offer three Mental Health First Aid Certification Courses. More than 75 participants completed the 12 hour courses. Some of the participants traveled from as far away as Bryant, Russellville, Clarksville, and Mountain Home.

Just as CPR training helps a layperson without medical training assist an individual following a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid training helps an individual assist someone experiencing a mental health crisis.

    Steps to Wellness Summit

    Nearly 100 community and business leaders participated in the Steps to Wellness Summit. Bridges to Wellness partnered with the State Department of Health, and State AARP to host Dan Burden, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Walkable and Liveable Communities Institute, www.walklive.org. The two day event highlighted the importance of the built environment in encouraging or discouraging increased physical activity.

    Walkable and Liveable Communities Institute prepared a 100 day plan and made more than 25 recommendations to improve Siloam Springs??? built environment. At the Summit Dan Burden and Co-Founder Sarah Bowman demonstrated the link between engaging built environments to increased physical activity by residents and increased property values.
