Medical Professionals

Facilitating the destigmatization of mental health in our communities through education and empowerment.

Funded by SAMHSA, the Medical Professional Mental Health Awareness Training project will train healthcare workers to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges and employ crisis de-escalation techniques, establish linkages with community-based mental health agencies to refer individuals, and provide education on supportive community resources to their patients. We also strive to educate medical care professionals on the necessity and benefits of self-care in promoting wellness to their patients.  By empowering those in healthcare with increased awareness of mental health and self-care, we can improve the health of the whole community.  

Certified Well-being Ambassador Program 

Any healthcare professional who completes all three mental health awareness trainings offered by PSCFL will become eligible to apply for our “Certified Well-being Ambassador” program. These individuals are now equipped not only to make a positive difference in their workplace and in the lives of their patients, but also in the lives of family, friends and others in the communities they encounter daily. Well-being Ambassadors are enrolled in a network of their peers in healthcare who have also completed the qualifying training. These peers will meet quarterly for Well-being Community of Practice Sessions — a chance to connect and discuss the successes and challenges they’ve faced in using the skills gained. They will also be the first to know about any upcoming training for continued well-being education.
