This Awareness, Interaction and Direction (A.I.D.) training is a 60-minute mental health awareness training that teaches individuals how to be aware of the signs and symptoms of someone in distress, how to effectively interact with someone in distress, and how to locate and provide resources to individuals in distress. This training also discusses definitions surrounding mental health such as mental distress, mental illness, stigma and more.
This training is being provided to Ohio University by researchers and practitioners from Kent State University.

Since that time, this training has been utilized in over 3 SAMHSA funded grants. The Center has also published a manuscript on A.I.D.'s effectiveness as a mental health awareness training.
This virtual event is free and open to all current faculty and staff at all of Ohio University’s campuses. It has been organized through a partnership between Ohio University Human Resources, Dean’s Office within the College of Health Sciences and Professions and the Healthy OHIO Employee Well-being program.
