Resiliency Essentials

Resiliency Essentials Helping to Keep You Healthy

Resiliency is the ability to recover quickly during stressful times, and essentials are activities that are so important you need to do them on a regular basis. At Makin’ It Happen, (MIH) we are working with our partners in the community to promote Resiliency Essential programs focusing on prevention and mental health wellness.

MIH is pleased to offer several trainings and presentations to our local community organizations, free of charge! Read more below.

Youth Mental Health First Aid
Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who are experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. This course includes 2-hours of self-study to be completed and an additional 6 hours of instruction (which can be broken into two sessions). Participants will receive a training manual and certification upon completion of the course.

Suicide Prevention Training

QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is a national, evidence-based suicide prevention program founded over 20 years ago. Like CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), QPR is designed to increase survival in the face of a crisis. It trains you to recognize warning signs, and question, persuade, and refer someone to get the help they need.

Talk Saves Lives

Talk Saves Lives is American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s (AFSP) standardized, 45–60-minute education program that provides participants with a clear understanding of suicide, including the most up-to-date research on suicide prevention, and what they can do in their communities to save lives. Participants will learn common risk factors and warning signs associated with suicide, and how to keep themselves and others safe. Find out more about Talk Saves Lives here.
