Parent/ Professional Advocacy League Training for Dispatchers and First Responders
Training for Dispatchers and First Responders
PPAL understands the need to navigate support, have accurate/ real resources for both professionals and families.
Partnering together offers more to families and to dispatchers/first responders. PPAL is dedicated to delivering a curriculum that was created in response to community needs and the misunderstanding of families and youth with mental health, trauma and lack of proper support in the community due to the challenge of navigating the maze to resources.
This training is based on the family experience, data that impacts mental health, behaviors of youth, mental health including autism, trauma, substance use, and suicide prevention.
PPAL will give concrete ideas, data driven statistics and a clear learning experience on the needs of families with children with acute needs.
