BIO of Presenter: Michael Foust is Regional Director for Western Montana Mental Health Center and the former executive director for Gallatin Mental Health Center. He brought positive youth development to Western’s school programs and helped develop Gallatin County’s Community Crisis Response. Before joining WMMHC, he worked for Families First, in Atlanta, where he worked with foster kids and families, provided parenting and divorce counseling, and created a stewardship/leadership education model.
Presentation Description: When someone in the workplace is having mental health problems, from depression to mental illness, concerned coworkers often ask HR to help. Do you know what to do if someone needs your help? Michael will discuss how to recognize mental health crises, what resources are available, and how you can “not make it worse” when talking to the person in crisis.
