A public health, socio-ecological approach that looks at the individual, family, community and society. While a suicide is the act of an individual, it occurs in the context of and impacts that person’s relationships, community, and the larger society and culture.
Cross-training includes lecture, interactive case scenarios, activities, facilitated discussion, printed materials, and best practice protocols.
More than “just training”, Connect helps you understand how systems work and how to collaborate across systems to create an integrated community response.
Training that can be customized to meet the needs of your community or organization. Connect goes beyond a “one size fits all” tool box, manual, or on-line seminar.
