IDMH offers an Advanced Certificate in Trauma and Disaster Mental Health which is designed for professionals who are interested in understanding the effects of crises, disasters, and traumatic stress on the populations they serve.
IDMH offers training on a range of topics including Psychological First Aid (PFA), Disaster Mental Health, Managing Stress and Building Resilience, and Supporting Children Exposed to Trauma. In addition to these standardized curricula, we are able to develop trainings tailored to the specific needs of agencies and organizations.
In addition to our live trainings, we offer a library of recorded trainings on Psychological First Aid and related topics available on our YouTube channel. An additional resource is our children’s book An Unusual Situation (currently available in 8 languages) which is designed to help children understand and explore their reactions to difficult experiences.
We are proud of our partnerships with a range of agencies and organizations that strengthen our impact. We have ongoing relationships with New York State agencies including the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Department of Health, Office of Victim Services, Thruway Authority, and Bridge Authority and others.
