Mental health challenges don't wait until adulthood. And the adults in a young person's life are often the first to notice something is wrong.

Youth Mental Health First Aid is training designed to help adults recognize the signs of mental health struggles in young people and know how to respond. It's practical, it's important, and AHEC is proud to be part of bringing it to SW Oklahoma.

Have questions about this training? Reach out to us at [email protected]

A physician walks into a room. So does a nurse, a pharmacist, and a social worker. That's not a joke — that's great patient care.

Interprofessional collaboration is one of the core things AHEC builds into every program we run. When healthcare providers learn to work together from the start, patients get better outcomes.

Quick reminder! The Oklahoma AHEC Community Health Worker Certificate Program is still enrolling.
