Mental Health First volunteer training for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other people of color who want to gain more skills on how to support someone without using law enforcement.

We deserve community crisis response that doesn’t harm us and instead honors our lives.

This training will include:

• Interventions in domestic violence, drug overdose, mental health crisis, etc.

• How to support others with safety planning (strategies and sources of support)

• How to cool down a hot situation (including deescalating bystanders)

• and more!

Have you ever struggled with mental health? Or been 5150ed?
Have you ever supported a loved one through a mental health crisis?
Or wondered how to support someone without involving law enforcement in our communities?

Join APTP’s MH First for a BIPOC Crisis Response Training to gain more skills on how to build alternatives to calling 911.

Accessibility: This is a 7 hour training on Zoom. You will be asked to watch some pre-recorded videos before the interactive training. Closed captioning will be available. Breaks will be provided. Please include other accessibility needs in the registration form when you sign up.

Note: This is a training for Black, Brown, Indigenous and POC only. We will post when other training opportunities become available.
