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.
If you don't have time to watch the videos, scroll down to the yellow lightbulb to download the workshop powerpoint with clickable links to resources. (We add slides to keep this up-to-date with the best resources.)
