2023-2024 Crisis Provider Training Series
Iowa HHS hosted a free training series July 2023 through March 2024. The goal of these trainings was to assist Iowa’s 988 and behavioral health crisis providers in serving children, their families and individuals who identify as LGBTQ+. While this series was developed for crisis service providers it was open to everyone.
Live webinar trainings are no longer available, but many are available on-demand for a limited time on the University of Iowa UI Learn Educational Platform*. These are free trainings and open to everyone. Certificates of attendance are available upon completion of a short survey and quiz.
*NOTE: First time users will need to create a free account to access.
