Mental Health First Aid in the Classroom	1.00	A student shouts in rage, “I wish I were dead!” Is he expressing suicidal ideation? A student quickly covers cut marks over her left forearm. Should we approach her or respect her privacy? The National Alliance on Mental Illness data show that one in five adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18 will experience a severe mental illness, and only 20 percent will receive treatment. We know, then, that our students are coming to us with mental health needs that are greater than ever before. This can feel overwhelming, especially when we want to help our students achieve to their fullest potential and are not sure how to. The good news is that basic mental health first aid can offer practical, valuable tools. We don’t need to be a cardiac surgeon to perform CPR, and sometimes CPR can save a life. Similarly, we don’t have to be a licensed mental health professional to provide basic mental health first aid in the classroom.

Cultural Competence for Paraprofessionals	0.75	Culture and cultural elements are essential components of people's identities. Understanding the cultural elements as paraprofessionals allows for a greater appreciation for students and can improve relationships. Cultural elements may include race and ethnicity, gender, and socio-economic status.

It is important to recognize that many culturally and linguistically diverse families have specific customs and traditions that may not necessarily be connected to a particular cultural group. By understanding cultural competence, paraprofessionals can provide responsive instruction and support to students from all backgrounds.
