AAHI hopes that you are staying warm in this windy weather! Even though the weather may be cold, AAHI has been out and about connecting with our community members.
On February 4, AAHI hosted our third Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training with members from the
Chinese Bible Church of Maryland (CBCM) and
Gaithersburg Chinese Alliance Church (GCAC). Mental Health First Aid is a national curriculum-based certification training that teaches on how to help people developing a mental illness or in a crisis. In total, there were over 30 attendees who became certified in Mental Health First Aid.
AAHI would like to thank the
EveryMind for providing the facilitator and training. We would also like to thank CBCM for providing the venue for the training. Last but not least, AAHI would like to thank all CBCM and GCAC members for coming and we greatly appreciate your enthusiasm throughout the training!

On February 5, AAHI attended the Lunar New Year Festival at Lakeforest Mall hosted by the
Chinese Culture and Community Service Center. Our health promoters were able to provide outreach and education on topics such as hepatitis B, blood pressure, diabetes, and mental health. Many community members stopped by our Resource Information Table and we were able to have in depth conversations with them regarding their health. Thank you for having us, CCACC!
