This is a grant-funded 40 hour curriculum for emergency responders. NH Dept. of Safety and NAMI NH co-sponsor this presentation which teaches de-escalation of a community member in crisis. This program gives the attendee a greater understanding of various mental health conditions through presentations of lived experience as well as subject matter experts. This program is both didactic and role play, hands-on scenarios. We also discuss responder self-care and peer support. The attendee ends the program with the tools necessary to increase response safety as well as an increased knowledge of resources to better serve our community.
