Free Webinar
During this webinar, the first of a two-part series focused on mental health promotion and early intervention, you will hear three speakers describe how each of us can work to better our community‘s health and wellness through supportive actions. You’ll learn about Emotional CPR, a simple yet powerful community-building tool that teaches people how to support someone through emotional distress or crisis. You’ll learn about “Families Healing Together,” an organization that believes in “the healing power of community and [is] dedicated to helping families recover from mental health challenges” and works to support families through recovery-focused online educational tools and support programs. And finally, you’ll learn how one university is adopting new practices that encourage and equip both teachers and students to support members of their community experiencing mental health challenges.
We invite you to join us in learning how all of us can make a difference.
