Building Community Support Groups for Improved Mental Health

This webinar focuses on the journey of personal mental health recovery back into the community. For many of us, when we first started experiencing mental health difficulties, we found them life-consuming. We will talk about skills and techniques to help bridge this sometimes precarious and difficult phase through the development of participant structured support groups for improved mental health. These groups allow us to explore relationships in a safe, respectful peer environment. Support groups give us a way to give back and mentor others as we become more and more well. The leadership role mental health peer specialists can take in creating support groups will be examined through this webinar, as well. Learning Objectives: - Outline steps to create a community support group for mental health and wellness. - Identify key leadership roles in the community to support efforts to create support groups. - Explore the benefits of healthy relationships created through support groups.
