What We Do
Creating Certified Secured Spaces
Utilizing a broad knowledge base of mental health education and cultural sensitivity, We create environments in which people feel safe to discuss personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings. These certified secure spaces meet specific criteria that ensure psychological safety and respect for all participants.
Facilitating Nonviolent Communication
As trained facilitators, we encourage nonviolent communication, a compassionate and empathetic style of communication designed to foster connection and understanding. By actively promoting this communication style, I help individuals express their needs and emotions without blame or judgement, paving the way for healthier, more constructive conversations.
Encouraging Active Listening
Active listening forms a crucial part of my facilitation process. We guide participants to engage in active listening, a communication technique that requires the listener to fully concentrate, understand, respond, and then remember what is being said. This not only validates speakers’ feelings and experiences but also promotes better understanding and collaboration among individuals.
Reducing Stigma Around Mental Illness
One of our key objectives is to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness. Through education and open discussion, We challenge harmful stereotypes and misconceptions about mental health. Our work in this area helps create a more understanding and accepting environment for those living with mental health issues.
Building a Tech-Savvy MHFA Community
We recognize the importance of digital literacy in today’s interconnected world and strive to build a tech-savvy Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) community. By leading digital literacy workshops and introducing digital tools for interactive learning, you facilitate active engagement in the program’s digital components and enable participants to maximize online resources.
MHFA
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), is a specific program designed to educate people about mental health issues and give them the skills to respond to mental health emergencies. Just like traditional first aid, MHFA is intended to provide immediate help until professional medical treatment can be obtained.
Is your organization creating a strategic mental health plan? MHFA could be one of many strategies employed to achieve the plan’s goals. For example, if one of the goals is to improve early intervention for mental health issues, a strategy might be to provide MHFA training for your church leadership. This is just one of the many ways strategic mental health planning and MHFA can work together to improve mental health outcomes.
