RaSheeda Waddell, founder of ATELIER D'AMOUR,  among many talents holds certification in teaching Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) and is a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) practitioner. In response to the increased acuity in suicidality in the Black Community, RaSheeda sought to offer FREE Mental Health First Aid trainings to anyone who is interested. Engage Recovery is elated to support RaSheeda in this effort!

Mental Health First Aid is an international, evidence-based program that teaches people to identify, understand and respond to someone who might be struggling with a mental health or substance use challenge — and connect them with appropriate support and resources when necessary. I invite you view the additional information about MHFA below.
