Compassion Training

Built for first responders supporting individuals in mental health crises, this training delivers clear, practical guidance on recognizing conditions and responding effectively, with a focus on equipping first responders with tools to navigate crises safely—protecting both first responders and our community members. NAMI Santa Cruz partners with first responder agencies to help cultivate awareness and understanding around those who suffer from mental health conditions, providing first responders with resources to share with patients or their loved ones.
