T4: Supporting the Responder: Considerations for Working with those on the Front Lines of Crisis Response

Includes a Live Web Event on 05/13/2025 at 10:30 AM (EDT)

Only available as part of a package

Those who respond to crises require specialized, culturally attuned, and proactive mental health care. Humanitarian workers, emergency services, police, fire, and military exist within deeply idiosyncratic cultures where trust, wisdom, and belonging are earned through experience, challenge, and exposure. This workshop will provide a framework and best practices for mental health providers to understand the unique cultural considerations within these populations in order to develop authentic, trusting relationships and provide quality behavioral health care.
