ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (AP) — College of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City says it will offer a course in first aid for mental health amid the surge of mental health challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Virginian-Pilot reported Wednesday that the community college will conduct the eight-hour course this spring. It will be for students in the school's human services technology program, which is for entry-level positions in mental health fields.
