Connecting Columbia Union Seventh-day Adventists

August 2019

AEC hosted its first two-day Mental Health First Aid training, where 18 participants earned certificates for completing the eight-hour training session.

For the first time, the Allegheny East Conference’s Relationship Ministries Department hosted an eight-hour Mental Health First Aid training at this year’s camp meeting. Attendees learned initial skills to provide support to individuals with developing mental health or substance use problems and how to connect them to appropriate care.

“We are here on behalf of our constituents, 720,000 Marylanders, to thank you for the care you will deliver and for the incredible mission that anchors Adventist HealthCare," stated Congressman John Sarbanes.
