Insight Pt. 2: Mental Health First AID, Family Reunification Month, Property Tax Relief

We all know about First AID for physical injuries and ailments but what about Mental Health First AID? The Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services has a training that gives everyday citizens the tools to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use challenge. I speak to Malik Gray, Health Program Analyst Supervisor, for the Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services about the trainings and the opportunity to receive Wawa Welcome America concert tickets for attending the June 22nd session.

Families are better together. June is National Reunification Month. I speak to Jennifer Bare, Social Work Supervisor at the Philadelphia Department of Human Services about how DHS works to safely keep families together.

Resources: Families involved with DHS can call 267-514-3500 to learn more about reunification services available to them or 215-PARENTS (727-3687) for in person and virtual parenting education and support groups.
