Participants will gain a better understanding of mental health diagnoses, community and state resources, communication skills, verbal de-escalation skills, as well as self care and peer resources to help combat post traumatic stress. We will also discuss suicide prevention and intervention and many other tools to serve people with mental illness with respect and dignity.
(There are grant funds available for responders to be reimbursed for travel mileage as well as overtime and backfill for your department.)
