Description
Mental Health Roadmap is a walk through on how to empower individuals and loved ones to better understand the basics of the mental health system, understanding the uses of insurance, and how to make the most informed decisions for yourself and/or loved ones. If you are struggling with accessing services, understanding the barriers to getting what you need or simply knowing what to do next, join us and be guided through the phases of getting the diagnosis and wondering what is next. When faced with the daunting responsibility of caring for your loved ones, we are often unequipped with the knowledge and tools to best support them. This course takes you on a journey from the initial mention of a “something just isn’t right” to learning how to ask the important questions of system providers. Participants will receive materials to help guide them along the way. If you are struggling with understanding what to do when presented with certain challenges or want to learn how to exercise your voice to advocate for yourself or for others, Mental Health Roadmap offers a meaningful opportunity to embrace these challenges and walk away with useful tools and resources.
Objectives
- Embrace the process of accessing services and navigating the mental health system
- Learn how to better understand the language of systems
- Learn key tips to utilizing your voice and/or advocating on behalf of others
