CULN3057 – Sushi for Beginners
You will love learning the art of sushi rolls in this hands-on class. You’ll learn every step from making sushi rice to cutting sushi components. We’ll talk about the history of culture behind this long Japanese tradition while we roll out three styles of sushi maki including futomaki, spicy salmon maki, and temaki (hand-rolled sushi). Each student will roll and cut their own sushi. Students will get a sushi rolling mat to go home with. Take-home containers and step-by-step recipes will also be provided.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)

Mental Health First Aid® is an international program designed to educate the public on how to respond in a mental health emergency, and offer support to someone in emotional distress. Training allows for early detection and intervention by teaching participants about the signs and symptoms of specific illnesses like anxiety and depression, and providing concrete tools to be able to assist someone in need. NECC regularly offers MHFA training courses.
Mental Health First AidAppreciative Inquiry
At NECC, much of our work is rooted in Appreciative Inquiry—facilitating positive change in human systems, organizations, groups, and communities. Every human system (person or community) has a core of strengths that is often hidden and/or underutilized—what is known as its positive core. If you are looking for a certified AI Facilitator or Trainer, NECC can help.
