The Northwest MHTTC is excited to collaborate with Dr. Kira Mauseth of Astrum Health, LLC to offer a live learning community in fall 2023 focusing on breaking down practical strategies for healthy life and practice. Each session includes expert-led instruction and experiential learning.

This learning community will focus on helping participants develop the tools and strategies needed for a healthy life and practice. Sessions provide concrete and practical ways to "cope, calm, care".

COPE. This Learning Community session is focused on cognitive, thinking strategies and skills for tackling tough situations. Borrowing from and then expanding on CBT techniques we can all use in the day-to-day, specific workplace-oriented strategies are shared for healthy coping.

CALM. This Learning Community session is focused on learning how to use emotion regulation, modulation, regulation and physiological control to approach and respond to challenging situations and crisis more effectively. Building off of the COPE skills in session one, we add in emotional and physical bio-feedback skills.

CARE. This Learning Community session builds off of COPE and CALM and is focused on connecting with things that are bigger than each of us individually- finding meaning and setting goals that are right for us, engaging with others in a substantial way, and practicing adaptive, healthy strategies in our interactions with others.
