Training

Make your team crisis-ready.

Practical, plain-language training that teaches people what to notice, what to say and who to call when someone is struggling. Built in Birmingham for the people Alabamians already turn to: front desks, managers, volunteers, ministry teams and neighbors.

Topics

  • How to help someone in crisis

    Listening, staying calm and connecting someone to help.

  • Suicide warning signs

    How to ask directly and what to do next.

  • Overdose response

    Recognizing an overdose, calling 911 and naloxone basics.

  • Homelessness

    Respectful help, local resources and what not to do.

  • Domestic violence

    Supporting someone safely without putting them at risk.

  • Customer-facing de-escalation

    Keeping people safe at the front desk or counter.

This is awareness and response training, not a clinical certification. It teaches people how to connect someone to professional help.

Who it is for

Any team or group: businesses, restaurants and retail, property managers, nonprofits, churches, schools, libraries, neighborhood associations and volunteer groups.
