Recognizing mental health concerns early and knowing how to respond is key to keeping our minds and communities healthy. The goal of Community Cares is to help participants recognize, acknowledge and address mental health concerns as early as possible
Bouncing back from lifes curveballs takes skills. Resilience is built from a foundation of self-awareness, self-care and communication. Recognizing mental health concerns early and knowing how to respond is key to keeping our minds and communities healthy. Every single person can benefit from building skills designed to support mental wellness.
Community Cares is built to introduce evidence and experience-based mental health education with a focus on wellness, recovery and hope. We will cover the importance of mental health and wellness, common diagnoses and treatment, self-care and communication skills, and personal stories of navigating mental illness and recovery.
Participants receive a workbook designed to augment the presentation. The workbook encourages mental health awareness as well as providing activities designed to help individuals explore and practice the skills covered in the presentation.
The goal of Community Cares is to help participants recognize, acknowledge and address mental health concerns as early as possible.
