Speakers, Trainings, and Workshops
Our certified facilitators offer virtual and in-person trainings that increase mental health literacy, reduce stigma associated with mental illness, and foster a culture that prioritizes wellness.
We design our trainings to fit the needs of businesses, schools, non-profit organizations, heathcare professional, first responder teams, faith-based organizations, and other community groups.
Our Workplace Wellness trainings provide organizational leadership and teams with the education and tools needed to create a culture of wellness and resilience. Our facilitators offer nationally-certified mental health trainings and can also work with you to customize workshops that best fit your needs.
Our Community Education trainings and workshops are designed for a broad array of audiences. We offer national certification trainings such a Mental Health First Aid, as well as topic-specific trainings including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, compassion fatigue, self-care, and general mental health awareness. Our facilitators can also work with you to tailor presentations about any mental health topic that best fits your group. CEU credit may be available for counselors and social workers depending on the training requested.
In our Crisis Intervention trainings, participants gain the skills and confidence needed to recognize and respond to mental health crisis situations. Our facilitators are certified to teach suicide prevention and intervention trainings such as QPR, safeTALK, and ASIST, as well as Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) for first responders.
