All non-behavioral health members/paraprofessionals will receive an additional ½ day (4 hours) training on basic crisis helping skills. Because paraprofessional team members will not have a mental health/counseling background, this training will provide them with background information in working with people in crisis, communication skills, issues related to confidentiality and ethics, and other basic helping skills.

The following outline describes the information provided in the Paraprofessional Training:

  • The Role of the Helper
  • Professional and personal boundaries
  • Ethics, confidentiality, and dual relationships
  • Communication Skills
  • Challenges in Helping
  • Diversity and multicultural awareness as a helper
  • Helping in Crisis and Grief Situations
