Inside Mental Health First Aid: What some Germantowners learned and why it matters
What can we do when someone we love is struggling with their mental health? Germantown neighbors gathered at Crossroads Women’s Center to find out—taking part in a full-day Mental Health First Aid training led by Dr. Willie J. Keaton Jr. The workshop emphasized early intervention, empathetic listening, and real tools to offer support without relying on police intervention. Participants left with new skills, confidence, and a powerful reminder: care starts in community.
