Workshop: Tools for Community Crisis Care led by Marie Shebeck

Learn practical tools and strategies to effectively intervene in mental health crises in this hands-on workshop! This event will be hosted and led by Marie Shebeck. 

It is common for us to run into people experiencing a mental health crisis in our neighborhood, at work, on the bus or in our apartment buildings. When we see someone in crisis, we can get activated too and have difficulty knowing how to be helpful. Helping someone in crisis can feel messy and chaotic. That’s ok!

Join this 90 minute workshop to find tools to help you support others in crisis.

Workshop will include:

• Principles of crisis work
• Understanding the nervous system
• Emotional regulation and deescalation skills
• How to safety plan
• Time to practice

Healing is relational - people in crisis need to be seen, heard, affirmed, encouraged.
