Responder is mental health training for all staff: about 5.5 hours online, then a practical day rehearsing how to help a co-worker who is struggling.

Responding to a co-worker
Practical guides for anyone at work who notices a co-worker struggling: what to say and what to avoid, how to listen, how to connect someone with help, and what to do after a critical incident. These guides teach conversation skills, not clinical care. In a crisis, call or text 9-8-8. In an emergency, call 9-1-1.
