Resources for Communities
The Dispute Resolution in Mental Health Initiative developed and launched an extensive online training program for libraries, laypeople, and others to learn how to talk about mental health in empowering lays, address challenging behaviors without trafficking in mental illness stereotypes, and resolve conflicts related to mental health situations. This program gave people short, skills-­‐based modules and downloadable takeaway tools they could use to change their practices.
