Limited Beta Offer. . . Learn positive life-saving skills and confidence!
Wednesday 17, Thursday 18 and Friday 19 June, 10 am - 12 noon
Our internationally-recognized Growing Through crisis support skills training is going online!
Growing Through is a strengths-based, growth-focused approach to supporting others as a equal, in times of crisis and intensity with the goal of fostering meaning making and recovery. Guided by best practices for mental health peer support and suicide prevention, informed by the recovery model, humanistic psychology and lived expertise, Growing Through training seminars cultivate skills and confidence for serving as an ally to others in these difficult times, including effectively using one’s personal experience.
INNOVATIVE TRAINING
Utilizing non-clinical language, best practices for suicide prevention, and the experience of those ‘who have been there,’ Growing Through provides innovative training for assisting others as a ‘Growth Ally,’ including effectively sharing one’s own experience. Growing Through skills courses are available for professionals, paraprofessionals, peer specialists, crisis counselors, college students and faculty, and the general public.
FOUNDING PHILOSOPHY
Growing Through is founded on the philosophy that every individual’s life journey is unique and valuable. For some people, the most significant moments of that journey include intense difficulty, distress and/or pain, including despair and thoughts of death. By approaching struggle and crisis, including suicidal intensity, as parts of personal growth, Growing Through Allies help people find value and meaning in the midst of pain, and maximize their own resources for recovery.
