The Jung Center and The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD are partnering together to train mental health professionals and community members alike to intervene in a crisis around suicide. Just as CPR skills make physical first aid possible, training in suicide intervention develops the skills needed for suicide first aid.
This two-day course is for anyone – regardless of prior experience – who wants to learn effective intervention skills and help to build suicide prevention networks in the community. These intense workshops teach individuals how to mediate in a mental health crisis, how to intervene if someone is having thoughts of suicide, how to be a suicide “gatekeeper,” and how to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
