On Wednesday, August 21st we were honored to hear from Winona Pearson, LCSW, of Middle Peninsula Northern Neck Behavioral Health (https://www.mpnncsb.org/). She walked us through what happens when a person has a mental health crisis, resources and how a person can be helped.
What is a Mental Health Crisis is…A mental health crisis is any situation in which a person’s actions, feelings and behaviors can lead to them hurting themselves or others, and/or put them at risk of being unable to care for themselves or function in the community in a healthy manner. Situations that can lead to a mental health crisis can include stress at home like conflicts with loved ones, exposure to trauma, or violence. Stress at work or school and other environmental stress can also contribute to a mental health crisis.
As business owners, we are not only responsible for ourselves and our families, we have employees to care for also. Having the tools to help ourselves, family members and employees empowers us to help those around us.
