Join the Mental Health First Aid training at Lealman Exchange on 03/26/26

Creative Pinellas is thrilled to announce a free Mental Health First Aid training session on March 25, 2026, at Lealman Exchange. This initiative aims to empower artists and members of the creative community to actively contribute to public health and wellbeing. The training is specifically designed to equip participants with the skills to identify and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use issues. Offered by Love IV Lawrence, a dedicated local foundation focused on de-stigmatizing mental health challenges, this training comprises two hours of self-paced online content followed by five hours of instructor-led guidance, running from 9 AM to 3 PM. Participants will walk away with valuable knowledge and resources to better support themselves and their peers. Interested individuals are encouraged to keep an eye on their inbox as registrations will open early next week. This is part of a broader effort by Creative Pinellas, collaborating with local arts organizations, to enhance the mental health landscape within the creative community. Don’t miss this vital opportunity to foster a supportive environment in the arts! Mark your calendars and prepare for an impactful day of learning.
