Just as CPR helps you assist someone in cardiac distress, a Mental Health Wellness Workshop prepares you to respond to someone experiencing a mental health crisis. In this four-hour, in-person workshop led by Kallie Voneiff and Kimberly Mallett, participants will learn to identify risk factors, warning signs, and strategies to assist others in both crisis and non-crisis situations. This in-person workshop is part of Living Well's Thrive in Five (https://livingwell.tamu.edu/thrive-in-five/) mental health campaign, which offers realistic, practical ways to support the mental health of our faculty and staff. Through guided discussion and hands-on activities, attendees will explore topics including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors. This session is ideal for adults seeking to strengthen their ability to respond compassionately and effectively to mental health concerns at work or home.
