Mental Health Literacy at The Family Cafe
The Family Cafe is pleased to invite you to a one-day training entitled Mental Health Literacy on Thursday, June 14 at the Hilton Orlando from 9:30 - 5:00. There is no cost to attend.
With about 20% of Americans experience some type of mental illness, and many high-profile mental health emergencies occurring nationwide, it’s essential that leaders in our community be familiar with the symptoms, causes and evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis and substance use disorder.
Mental Health Literacy is about leaders in the disability community developing a base of leadership and understanding about mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders in a supportive and responsive manner.
If you are interested in attending this informative training on this critical issue, please check out the flyer and registration form here.
