Founded in 1969, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing is a membership organization that drives policy and social change on behalf of nearly 3,300 mental health and substance use treatment organizations and the more than 10 million children, adults and families they serve. We advocate for policies to ensure equitable access to high-quality services. We build the capacity of mental health and substance use treatment organizations. And we promote greater understanding of mental wellbeing as a core component of comprehensive health and health care. Through our Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program, we have trained more than 3 million people in the U.S. to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges.
I absolutely love these individuals I know Mike and Sara both and let me tell you they are absolutely change makers! Much love from your indiana people!
Thank you for sharing, I am part of a community outreach program under my university (NWU, South Africa) and one of the key focus of the project is sustainable, youth empowerment towards increased awareness.
May I use this video in a course I am teaching re: counseling skills for speech pathologists? I would share it as an example and resource to encourage students to take the MHFA course
Next time. If you’re struggling with what to do or how to do things, contact some authorities for advice. Authorities LIKE ME that you blocked from doing normal things on earth in my own life.
I have his book what happened to you. But I haven't read because I can't write a review on my Kindle since my last phone linked to this number got hacked at a shelter by the dishonest reverend. #angelamichellevaughan #eminem IRS.gov #drbruceperry I watch things like this for therapy purposes. I have a lot of childhood trauma and still adult childhood trauma I am the scapegoat.
I was certified in 2014. This is a crucial training and should be mandated for all in health and human services, law enforcement, schools, hospitals, clinics, EMS, nursing homes, day cares, corrections, dispatch, caregiving, etc. In my training we did not have people talking in our ears we had hallucinations via goggles and auditory via headphones. It was beyond intense, but needed. From that point in 2014 I was a Psych Major, but was a caregiver/ staff for adults with behavioral health disabilities. Fast forward to 2023 I am 32yo and a Case Manager for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I learned so much more through the years and various other trainings and I couldn't be prouder and especially thankful. Though I would love to take this class again I am sure there is still more to learn and apply. Thank you for putting this class together and also sharing with the world via RU-vid! Well wishes and good luck to you all!
Mental and physical health are equal , we should have the doctor’s office cover you as a whole. Insurances need to incorporate Urgent Mental Healthcare the same.
This is so very important. I'm researching family involvement in treatment for my book Every Homeless Person Has a Mother. I'm researching everything I can find on Dr. Lisa Dixon. Family involvement is crucial for healing. I want to support her work with more evidence.
Thanks for providing this safe space and for sharing your experiences in this very important area. I have worked in corporate America for over 45 years and have, of course encountered many forms of racism, and have just learned to deal with it. I recently received an MA from NYU in mental health therapy and counseling, and I'm beginning my PhD studies at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in October 2023. I look forward to interacting with you all.
