This webinar announcement if from NAMI-Kansas
Join us for an informative webinar discussing hotlines, warmlines, and resources available in Kansas. The webinar is designed to facilitate communication and collaboration between entities providing these services, while also implementing tactics to increase accessibility and awareness for all stakeholders.
We believe people deserve access to the best possible care and resources available, as well as awareness of what is available to them.
This engaging session will feature presentations from Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS), Kansas Suicide Prevention Headquarters (KSPHQ), Carelon Behavioral Health, and NAMI Kansas.
You'll gain a deeper understanding of the critical role that hotlines, warmlines, and other resources play in providing essential support to individuals in distress. We'll also discuss best practices for accessing and utilizing these resources effectively.
Whether you are a mental health professional, a concerned friend or family member, or someone who has struggled with mental health issues in the past, this webinar is an excellent opportunity to learn about the resources available to you and to others. Join us for this informative session and gain valuable insights into the world of hotlines, warmlines, and resources.
