Mental Health Literacy

A lack of confidence and knowledge are key barriers for schools looking to implement Mental Health Literacy (MHL). MHL Aware and Reframe training models address these barriers by helping individuals and communities gain confidence and competence around a topic they might otherwise avoid. The introductory level of training focuses on educating individuals about 1) What MHL is, 2) Why it is beneficial, and 3) How they can bring this information to their community. In addition to these core focus areas, the training provides basic, real-world application strategies.

You Can’t Pour from an Empty Cup

Taking care of yourself is vital. It can be challenging to prioritize time for yourself when there are so many other people and things to take care of in life. But focusing on others, whether it’s family, students or friends, is difficult if you haven’t already taken care of your needs. We also need to call out the need for collective or community care, which is communal responsibility of the group rather than the lone task of an individual. By the end of this course, participants will be able to: understand the definitions of commonly used terms; increase knowledge about the ABCs of self-care; learn about collective care and healing-centered environments; complete your Action Plan with your self-care information.
