Mental Health Crisis Response covers people at risk for a mental health crisis, symptoms of people who are experiencing a mental health crisis, strategies to respond to a client who is currently experiencing a mental health crisis, as well as the roles of peer support and community health workers.

Management of PTSD for Healthcare Professionals helps healthcare workers understand how to treat patients with PTSD through early intervention which can include psychological or pharmacological treatment. It also prepares healthcare professionals to differentiate types of trauma, analyze a patient's response to trauma, and provide appropriate traditional or holistic treatment options.

Out of Darkness: Symptoms and Treatments for Major Depressive Disorder is a podcast series that aims to help healthcare professionals understand the diagnosis of major depressive disorder, common symptoms, suicide risk assessment strategies as well as treatment approaches such as antidepressants or cognitive behavioral strategies.

Facts and Myths About Suicide is another podcast series that was developed to help healthcare professionals understand the myths surrounding suicide while providing them with strategies on how best to assess if someone is at risk of suicide.
