Training for mental health crisis professionals and their partners working the front lines
Training for mental health crisis professionals and their partners working the front lines
The Frontline Crisis Academy was founded to provide high quality mobile crisis training to mental health agencies or professionals who have a passion to meet people where they are in their darkest moments or times of greatest need.
Called to respond in a time of darkness or chaos
I vow to show up with a strong & poised presence.
To build rapport quickly & compassionately.
To stay outside a crisis and bring objectivity.
To hold space during emotional outpours.
To act as a chameleon.
To make connections.
To advocate for those who cannot.
To be skilled in seeing what is not said.
To respectfully navigate a scene
& work shoulder to shoulder with my first response partners.
Never jumping to conclusions or quick decisions.
To know limits; my own & others.
To go slow & take time.
To sense when behavior is escalating
& be the calm in the storm.
To benevolently hold the pain that others feel.
To see the honor in being let in.
Crisis clinicians do not stand at the top of a dark hole
& reach down to help;
rather, they climb into the darkness
& provide hope that finding good,
finding light, finding peace, IS possible.
I am called to serve.
I am proud of the work I do.
I am a crisis clinician.
I do the hard work.
I do the heart work!
