    logo_mentalhealthawarenessweekSedona AZ (March 5, 2017) – The Mental Health Coalition Verde Valley is partnering with the Arizona Coalition for Military Families to bring Resource Navigator Training to the Verde Valley on Tuesday, March 21, 1-4PM at the Cottonwood Public Safety Building, 199 S. 6th St., Cottonwood.

    The training is free but registration is required. Anyone who wants to be part of ensuring that there is no wrong door and no wrong person for Arizona’s service members, veterans  and their families can sign up for the training.

    According to Dr. Jerry Wesch, Psychologist, Sedona resident, founder of the Sedona PTSD Recovery Project, and chair of the Veterans’ Task Force of the Mental Health Coalition, “This is a program I have wanted to bring to the Verde Valley so members of our community can be trained to help our local service members, veterans and their families. Knowing what resources are available and how to access them is a service we must provide and having this training available at no cost to our community is a great opportunity. We would like to have a team of trained Resource Navigators right here in the Verde Valley.”
