DONATE TO BLACK DOG RIDE

Help us train more first responders, veterans, service members and their families in the potentially life-saving skills of Mental Health First Aid.

A financial gift from you will help us reach our goal of equipping more members of these crucial populations with the tools they need to identify and reach out to those around them who may be struggling. Here are some examples of what your gift can achieve:

  • $20: Give a training manual
  • $75: Give classroom supplies

  • $170: Train a First Aider

  • $1,800: Train an Instructor

Together, we hope to give thousands of first responders, veterans, service members and their families the tools they need to start critical conversations with their peers and members of their communities. Without you, this won’t be possible. Please donate what you can.

 

  • In July 2015, I had the opportunity to take a Mental Health First Aid course at WestCare Nevada. Little did I know that just a few days later I would be using the information and techniques I had learned in the class in a real life situation.” –Rick Denton
  • Hilda Marie’s worst nightmare was unfolding right before her eyes. Teetering at the edge of the platform was a woman poised to jump in front of an oncoming train. What would you do? For Hilda, there was no question. She turned to the skills she learned in the eight-hour Mental Health First Aid class she completed. ” –Hilda Marie
  • I recently got dispatched on a psychiatric call...because I took the Mental Health First Aid class, I knew not to take the attitude that she's crazy and was able to keep her calm.” –Sarah L., EMT
  • I’ve taken regular first aid, and I’ve used both, but certainly the opportunities to use Mental Health First Aid are much more abundant.” –Nathan Krause, Pastor, Olney Seventh-day Adventist Church, Maryland
