Youth Mental Health First Aid class offerred

Posted by Staff on May 25, 2023 - 6:00am

NAMI Hancock County is offering a Youth Mental Health First Aid class on June 2nd.

Often people feel helpless when they see someone is struggling and just don't know what to say to them or how to help. This is a full day training for anyone who works with, or lives with, or hangs around with youth so they can better recognize signs of a mental health issue, know what to say, and connect them to the appropriate care.

Bluffton history presentation, May 24 at Bluffton library

Posted by Staff on May 18, 2023 - 12:55pm

“Unusual Bluffton visitors, saloons and other stories,” is the topic of a program by Fred Steiner at 6 p.m., Wednesday, May 24, at the Bluffton Public Library, 145 S. Main St., Bluffton.

“From the 1880s to the 1930s Bluffton was part of a circuit visited by interesting groups of itinerants,” said Steiner. “Most of these visitors were harmless and homeless persons traveling the countryside. They included drifters, peddlers, misfits and people from the Romani culture.”
