Growing Through trainings have been conducted in many communities and three countries and are highly in demand. When you reigster for this one-time Beta version of Offering Presence you will be among the first to receive our new training certificate program AND do so at a significantly reduced cost. Once Growing Through trainings are offered on a rolling basis waiting periods are expected due to class size limitations.

Offering Presence is a special Growing Through communications training designed for social service providers, crisis workers, volunteers or anyone who wants to be supportive. In addition to being a great learning experience for professionals and non-professionals alike, it is the first course in the GT Pro series. Combining practices for connecting authentically, using deep active listening and a highly structured approach for offering personal experience to others in the context of intensity or ‘crisis’, Offering Presence fills a crucial gap in suicide prevention, community mental health and peer specialist services.

Growing Through Offering Presence Online is a three-day learning intensive that combines self-paced materials and group skills session. You'll have self-paced reading and video content to view each day, along with three live skills sessions.

Growing Through is a unique 'deep skills' approach to engagement and support. Some prior experience or training in mental health, suicide prevention or peer support is recommended but not required for registration. Growing Through does not replicate existing training programs and models. It complements ASIST, QPR, Mental Health First Aid, Intentional Peer Support, WRAP, DBT Skills training, Motivational Interviewing, Compassion-based Therapy, CAMS and others. (NB: If you don't know what that jargon all means no problem! For participants with little or no related experience, links to informational materials and videos will be provided by your trainers.)

To ensure an enriching, positive learning experience, Growing Through is provided entirely within a secure learning management platform that ensures participant privacy as well as direct communication. The faculty of Humannovations-U are highly experienced mental health professionals, trainers and internationally recognized suicide prevention experts dedicated to creating a safe, exciting learning environment for all.
