The program, Mental Health First Aid Re-Certification, was created with The National Council for Behavioral Health, a platinum partner of Relias and the unifying voice of America’s community mental health and addictions treatment organizations. “Excellence Award winners symbolize the power and impact that Human Capital Management practices can have on a business or on any organization,” said Rachel Cooke, Chief Operating Officer of Brandon Hall Group and head of the awards program. “Many organizations can have great HCM initiatives, but the standard of excellence only applies for organizations whose HCM practices truly benefit the business. That’s what the Excellence Awards program stands for, and that is what Brandon Hall Group stands for.” The award entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts and executives based upon the following criteria: fit the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation, and overall measurable benefits. “The opportunity to develop this program for The National Council, one of our most important partners, was a prestigious honor in and of itself” explained Mark Belles, COO of Relias. “To receive such an award from the Brandon Hall Group validates the quality and dedication of our curriculum developers.” Excellence Award winners will be honored at Brandon Hall Group’s HCM Excellence Conference January 31 – February 2, 2018, at the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Selected winners also will serve as presenters in the more than 20 breakout sessions during the 3½-day event. “At the National Council we take great pride in the quality of the educational materials we provide,” said Betsy Schwartz, Vice President of Public Education at the National Council. “Working with Relias on the Mental Health First Aid recertification program means we are able to insure our First Aiders are up-to-date on the latest information about mental illness and substance use disorders and how to help people who might need it.
