One of my friends is going through a rough patch, I wanna learn how to help when I can. Thanks for sharing this to RU-vid for free! Even though it’s only small parts I really thank y’all for letting me learn whatever I can, just earned a new subscriber
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!
I'll be doing the training next week. I suffer mental health issues and have done so my entire life 😕, so it might be a bit confronting in ways, but I'm also a caring empathetic man and wanna be able to constructively help anyone suffering a mental health issue. So, looking forward to it... and anxious at the same time.
Depression:-Causes- Job,loved one loss Impact a person's ability to function Signs&Symptoms:Fatigue, Lack of sleep,headache,weight loss or gain Increase risk of suicide or harm Anxiety:De-escalate
Psychophrenia(Hearing voices): The heroine it takes for these people get up everyday while suffering from this Develop empathy repeat themselves speak shorter sentences because someone might be facing these symptoms.
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
I'm surprised you asked the audience such personal questions (eg who's had depression etc) for a training program that was going to go onto the internet. I hope they signed a privacy waver first. Great course though.
She lied to him. She does not know it’ll pass, and she doesn’t know it’ll get better, she does not know he will be safe as she doesn’t know how much pain he is in or how many seconds he is away from suicide. Absolutely wrong practice as she likely just minimized his pain or injuries, therein could push him into absolute hopelessness. This program does not work. One point to improve on is to teach students to not lie to a patient, and the instructor never corrected the bad behaviour. “Chris Voss - Never lie to someone your not going to kill.”
Facilitators should not be asking participants if they’ve ever had depression or anxiety .... people need safe spaces and you’re really putting people on the spot and making them feel uncomfortable. Also depression is a mood disorder. You don’t need a trigger like job loss or pet loss to suffer with it. I had to turn this off after 4 minutes. I’m a mental health worker and see so many issues with this video.
Are you really sure you know what you talk about? Having everybody raise their hand (including himself) shows that anxiety is a perfectly normal human emotion, just like pain and happiness etc. Same thing with depression. The whole idea is to show that these feelings are common and shouldn't be viewed as shameful. These people are here to lean mental first aid not to gain a safe space? These people are being educated this is not therapy? And while depression can theoretically happen to people without a trigger it is much more common with the presence of one. Honestly I don't really think your comment makes sense. Not trying to be offensive but you comment seem like you just trying to dunk on the guy
Panic attacks are often caused by anxiety, suicide is often caused by depression. They're the crisis level of those disorders. Psychosis, unlike every other mental disorder, is unrelatable (everyone's been depressed or anxious, most people haven't hallucinated). So it's probably a good idea to get some understanding and empathy regardless of how rare it is.
