The legislation, referred to as The Mental Health First Aid Act, seeks $20 million in grant funding for Mental Health First Aid educational programming to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Highlight available mental health resources in local communities, including Community Mental Health Centers, emergency psychiatric facilities, hospital emergency rooms, and other programs offering psychiatric crisis beds;<\/li>\n<li>Teach the warning signs and risk factors for schizophrenia, major clinical depression, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, trauma, and other common mental disorders;<\/li>\n<li>Teach crisis de-escalation techniques; and<\/li>\n<li>Provide trainees with a five-step action plan to help individuals in psychiatric crisis connect to professional mental health care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Senator sponsor Mark Begich (D-AK) underscored the importance of the proposed legislation, saying that the bill \u201cmakes smart investments to increase awareness and resources for mental health services in Alaska and across the country. I look forward to seeing it move forward in the Senate.\u201d He said, \u201dThe broad bipartisan support for this bill shows that politics have no place when it comes to keeping our families and communities safe and providing adequate support for those who may be experiencing a mental health crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a target='_blank' href=\"http:\/\/careforyourmind.org\/mental-health-first-aid-legislation\/\">Continue reading<\/a>. \u00a0Learn more about the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenationalcouncil.org\/topics\/mental-health-first-aid-act\/\">Mental Health First Aid Act<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chuck Ingoglia, Senior Vice President for Public Policy at the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, discussed the Mental Health First Aid Act of 2013 in a\u00a0Care For Your Mind\u00a0article published &#8230; <a title=\"National Council\u2019s Chuck Ingoglia on the Mental Health First Aid Bill\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.grafik.mentalhealthfirstaid.org\/es\/news\/national-councils-chuck-ingoglia-on-the-mental-health-first-aid-bill-2\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about National Council\u2019s Chuck Ingoglia on the Mental Health First Aid Bill\">Read more<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"topic":[],"news-type":[172],"class_list":["post-13708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","news-type-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v27.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>National Council\u2019s Chuck Ingoglia on the Mental Health First Aid Bill<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.grafik.mentalhealthfirstaid.org\/es\/news\/national-councils-chuck-ingoglia-on-the-mental-health-first-aid-bill-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"National Council\u2019s Chuck Ingoglia on the Mental Health First Aid Bill\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Chuck Ingoglia, Senior Vice President for Public Policy at the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, discussed the Mental Health First Aid Act of 2013 in a\u00a0Care For Your Mind\u00a0article published ...
