101 Workshop

Supporting Mental Health in Challenging Times

These presentations were originally developed for non-mental health staff who work with youth or families but they may also be a useful refresher for mental health professionals. Several of the videos include role plays and group discussion suggestions for agencies who may want to use these as a group staff training. And, workshop 3B (a review of RCCMHC tools and local resources) could be helpful for anyone who works with youth or families!

 

Please reach out to us if you have any questions or if you would like us to schedule a "live" presentation.  wendy@rccmhc.org   Call or text 800-565-7575  If the videos are running slowly, please download to watch.

Support Families in Crisis

 

Increased stress and isolation are leading to increased mental health, substance use, and maltreatment issues... so more families are experiencing crises and need support.
