 Are you a first responder or do you work as a security officer at a church, school, or other location? Since creating NAMI P.D. CONNECT, we have achieved tremendous success in educating security personnel about more effective strategies for handling mental health concerns. We know that these situations can be very frustrating, and often times it may seem as if there are very little options as to what can be done. This training aims to fill in some of those gaps, empowering you to feel more certain and assured when responding to mental health situations. Throughout these sessions, we provide an overview of what mental illness is, how to best interact with someone who is exhibiting symptoms of a mental illness, and what practical resources are available to use as referrals for individuals and family members. All sessions will take place at: 9:00am – 11:30am Community Center, NAMI DuPage 115 N County Farm Rd. Wheaton, Illinois 60187 Attendance at all 4 sessions is not required for participation, but highly recommended. Wednesday, March 6, 2019 What is Mental Illness?
