Is the kitchen just the place you fill your water bottle? Want some meal options that don’t include a paper bag and extra napkins? Why not learn some cooking tips for those busy days or when the money is tight? A KSU dietitian will show you how to cook some basic meals whether you have a full kitchen, a common kitchen in the dorm, or just a microwave in the lobby. And, as always, there will be snacks! We will be making some quick, budget-friendly options. Noodles with sauce, rice with stir fry. Yum! NOT a cooking demo. Space is limited and registration is required.Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Training
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA): Pre-work plus instructor-led, in-person, full day. MHFA is a skills-based training course that teaches people how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorder. People trained in MHFA learn to identify the risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems, strategies to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or is in crisis, and how to reach out and offer resources on where to turn for help. The MHFA course consists of 2-hours of self-paced content followed by 6.5 hours of instructor-led training. The self-paced content must be completed prior to the in-person-led training day. We ask that you block off your calendar for the day with the intent of wrapping up by 4:30pm. We will break for an hour at lunch, on your own. REGISTER by completing the form, Mental Health First Aid Registration- Spring 2024. Please register no later than one week before the training date to ensure you can complete the pre-course work. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Chelsea Williams at cwill733@kennesaw.edu.
