Mental Health and Suicide Awareness Training programs

Class Descriptions and Instructor Information

Schedule and Registration

​

These programs, funded by Boulder County American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, recognize that the pandemic disparately impacted the population of mountain and rural communities, those isolated by COVID-19, people with disabilities, older adults, those aging in place or homebound, youth and parents, LGBTQ+, and Latinx.

​

The pandemic showed how social isolation can affect the mental health of not just individual members of a community but how a general feeling can spread throughout the whole community. The mountain region is already isolated by geography, technology, and the “I’m okay” mentality. Training the engaged folks of the area supports the community and helps with social resiliency. It provides a baseline of knowledge and helps eliminate the stigma around mental health issues.

 

The Mental Health Training Program focuses on in-person Mental Health First Aid, QPR, and safeTalk training. These nationally recognized programs are taught by certified trainers with connections to the Mountain Community to ensure cultural and situational relevancy.

​

The training is designed for the general public, but some sessions will focus on specific communities within the region. Attendees could also access information about other resources, such as basic needs support, harm reduction, and counseling.
