Do you want to confidently respond to clients and colleagues with mental health or substance use challenges but have no idea how? Join us for an in-depth training to gather the tools and build the skills needed. This certification course teaches the signs and symptoms of common mental health and substance use issues, how to begin a non-judgmental conversation, and the gamut of resources you can encourage, from early intervention through potential crisis situations. Topics include, but are not limited to: how to approach, helpful/unhelpful statements, barriers to care, cultural considerations, panick attacks, thoughts of suicide, overdose. The tools learned can be applied not only to situations while adventuring with groups outdoors, but also with colleagues, family, friends, or with strangers. The sessions will consist of short presentations, activities (group and individual), discussions, videos, and scenarios (catered to the WRMC community). Participation in activities is highly encouraged but in a “challenge by choice” style.
