OWL Seminar: Mental Health Crisis
May 23
Duration: 1 hour
Intended Audience: District Leaders, Elementary Teachers, High School Teachers, Middle School Teachers, RESA Mentors, School Leaders, Teacher Leaders
While understanding the differences between mental health and the diagnosis of a mental illness, it is important to understand that individuals can experience a crisis in any mental state that they are in. A crisis is understood to be “the perception or experience of an event or situation as an intolerable difficulty that exceeds the person’s current resources and coping mechanisms.” Through this program, participants will learn types of mental crises, identify effective coping strategies to empower individuals to seek help, and demonstrate ways to effectively respond to a person in crisis.
Note: This is an interactive training with limited participant spots available and will not be recorded. Please only register if you can commit to attending the live training.
