VIRTUAL: Adult Mental Health Learning Lab (10/14/20 & 10/21/20: Virginia Home Visitors Only)

The Adult Mental Health Learning Lab is designed to further support professional development for family support professionals in working with families who are experiencing perinatal depression and/or other mental health challenges. This virtually facilitated training event can be attended after individuals have completed Adult Mental Health Part One and Adult Mental Health Part Two trainings online through the Institute. This classroom event will provide home visitors and home visiting supervisors with a review of adult mental health content, as well as information on active listening, observing for mental health challenges, the importance and role of screening, and identifying and responding to mental health crises. This training is TWO sessions, scheduled one week apart on the ZOOM platform. It will take place on October 14th AND October 21st from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Once registration is closed and attendees are confirmed, the Zoom link and password will be provided via email. Individuals who attend the learning lab are encouraged to bring their own case scenarios for use in the activities (however these scenarios must be written down ahead of time using the case scenario template attached to this event). Please print and/or have the attached handouts available. Note: You only need to bring one screening tool, please bring the tool that you use for screening at your program. If for any reason you cannot attend this training ahead of the specified date, please cancel your registration or email Alison Markow (amarkow@earlyimpactva.org) prior to the start time. Thank you!
