Mental and behavioral health-related lead critical incidents abroad. Crises of a single student may become crisis of a group, a program, and a community.
When crises occur, it is usually the on-the-ground staff who are required to be the first responders, even though they are not specialized in mental health management. When crises loom often or are impactful, burnout of those non-mental health first responders may be an additional stressor upon programming.
This session will focus on best practices in what on-the ground staff should do during and after a mental or behavioral health crisis: what to say and how to say it, who to mobilize and what resources to engage, and how to recover.
This session is a 60-minute session meant for on-the-ground professionals--and everyone is welcome to attend.
What you'll get:
- Access to recording
- Handouts and resources
This session will be recorded.
