How to Navigate a Mental Health Crisis

 

If you or a loved one have experienced a mental health crisis, you know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed and paralyzed by the chaotic emotions, decisions, and circumstances that come along with the crisis. It can be hard to know what steps to take and how to get help. The Hope for Mental Health Ministry wants to reassure you that no matter what you are facing, you don’t have to walk through it alone. We are here to offer support and answer your questions.

 

Join us on Saturday, May 4 from 9AM-12PM in Tent 3 for our first “How to Navigate a Mental Health Crisis” workshop for families and individuals living with mental illness. This training will give you the tools to recognize the precipitating events leading up to a crisis, what you need to know to help yourself or your loved one through the crisis, how to follow up afterwards, as well as ways to connect with on-going support.

 

Topics will include HIPAA (privacy) laws you should know and understand, how to create a one-page medical history document, questions to ask medical personnel, law enforcement and social workers, how to discover what your medical coverage allows, what are your rights as a person in need of crisis care, and how to build a wellness team of support around you.
