BRBH and SPCRV offer several trainings to help educate community members in the areas of suicide prevention, behavioral health and wellness.
Mental Health First Aid is a one-day course that teaches participants how to help someone who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. It helps identify, understand, and respond to signs of addiction and mental illness. There is an adult version and a youth version, for those that work with youth ages 12-18.
SafeTALK is an evidence-based 3 hour workshop that examines the stigma surrounding suicide and trains people to be "suicide alert".
Talk Saves Lives is a community-based 1 hour presentation that covers the general scope of suicide, the research on prevention, and what people can do to fight suicide.
All trainings are free and only for residents of Virginia. It is provided by Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare. Please fill out this form completely to register for an upcoming session.
