Walt’s Waltz is proud to be a compass and megaphone for mental health education, support, and change. We are honored to offer this opportunity completely free of charge to South Carolina residents, thanks to the generous support of Prisma Health, their expert presenter, and a SAMHSA Grant.

We invite you to attend—and encourage you to share this opportunity with others in your network.

This training is especially important for those who support or serve older adults, as well as seniors themselves. Depression, isolation, and anxiety are common but often overlooked in this population. With the right tools and compassionate awareness, we can help ensure no one is left to suffer in silence.

Why This Course Matters:
This course is taught in over 24 nations and is considered the gold standard for training, backed by case studies and proven results. Participants will receive practical skills that are globally recognized and research-driven for supporting individuals with mental health challenges.

Participants Will Receive:
A 3-year certification in Adult Mental Health First Aid

A comprehensive MHFA manual

7.5 hours of continuing education (CEs, PDs, etc.)

Practical, life-saving skills to recognize and respond to mental health challenges

Topics Covered:
Depression and mood disorders

Anxiety

Trauma

Substance use

Mental health in aging populations

How to respond to someone in crisis

Mental Health First Aid teaches that recovery is possible—and that we all have a role in supporting those experiencing mental health or substance use challenges.

This session is completely virtual and can be attended from the comfort of home.

Again, this training is free thanks to Prisma Health, their presenter, and a SAMHSA Grant.

As part of our mission, Walt’s Waltz is scheduling these events throughout South Carolina, and we want you to attend. Whether you are a caregiver, a community leader, a healthcare worker—or a senior wanting to better understand your own mental health—this course is for you.

We also invite organizations to become a Walt’s Waltz Stigma-Free Environment and explore our additional mental health literacy programs.

Let’s stop dancing around mental health conversations—especially for our seniors.

Warmly,
The Walt’s Waltz Team
