It\u2019s not just about the presence or absence of an illness,&#8221; Monaco said. &#8220;The training will help participants to understand mental health as an integral part of overall health, as well as to recognize risk and protective factors, and to promote help-seeking behavior, recovery, and self-care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Training goals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increase basic knowledge of mental health to help reduce stigma.<\/li>\n<li>Understand mental health as a continuum of wellness that defines us every day \u2014 it is illness, recovery, and all of the space in between.<\/li>\n<li>Promote wellness, treatment-seeking behavior, recovery, and self-care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Consider this: the median time between the onset of mental illness (when symptoms first appear) and when an individual gets appropriate treatment is 10 years. During that time, a person likely experiences periods of increased symptoms and periods of wellness. Mental Health and recovery are dependent on an individual\u2019s ability to recognize and manage where he\/she is each day on the continuum between wellness and illness, and take care accordingly, an important piece to quality of life,&#8221; Monaco said.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone interested in the training may <a href=\"https:\/\/mhanys.org\/civicrm\/?civiwp=CiviCRM&amp;q=civicrm%2Fevent%2Finfo&amp;reset=1&amp;id=246\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here for more information and to register<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<\/p>\n<p>Larry Ellis<br \/>\nInterim Director<br \/>\nCounseling and Wellness Services<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Wed, 09 Dec 2020 13:00:45 +0000 by\u00a0l.ellis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Counseling and Wellness Services is pleased to share notice of a virtual training session to be offered by the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus-announcements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15279\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
