Managing Mental Health in the Midst of Uncertainty

So often, we can become afraid of the idea of "mental health". We say we are advocates, but often we are afraid of being labeled with a diagnosis or being seen as "crazy." This course is designed to clarify some of the myths of trauma and mental health and share why this knowledge is relevant for EVERYONE. It is also designed to teach basic skills in identifying, understanding, and responding to mental health moments before they become crisis.
