Counselors Gathered • Navigating Mental Health Crisis presented by NAMI
Responding to a mental health crisis is very different from a medical emergency. When a person in the church is experiencing psychosis, panic attacks, severe depression, etc, many times the staff does not know how to respond or help the individual. By attending this session, you will learn:
Understanding mental health crises
Preparing for a crisis
What to do during a crisis
What to do following a crisis
A sample crisis plan
PLUS, the Crisis Intervention Team & Co-Responders will share about what happens when you call the police for a mental health emergency. They will be bringing their resource van to share how they are serving the community with mental health needs.
