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!
Accessibility: This is a 3.5 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.
We will post when other training opportunities become available.
