Participants will learn about the dual continuum model for mental health and be given strategies to help someone who is in immediate distress and/or in crisis.

At the end of this training, participants will:
- Gain mental health literacy skills
- Be able to recognize when someone is in distress
- Know steps to take to help someone with a mental health problem
- Discover what mental health resources exist on campus and in the community
