Project Overview

I am seeking a Mental Health professional to assist in creating a therapist-recommended program that would teach consumers healthy coping mechanisms based on their Meyer’s Briggs Personality Test, including questionnaires created by Burn Away Your Burdens in (X) amount of time. This program will take place over a specified time with groups (5-8) that go through the coping categories I have created to help them receive a hands on experience to learn what works best for them. They will leave with a new plan of action with the use of their new coping skills.

I have created six coping categories (1) Physical, (2) Distraction, (3) Self-soothing, (4) Processing, (5) Grounding, and (6) Sensory. Within these categories, I have developed 10-15 different individual coping skills that one could potentially engage in within their appropriate coping category.

After much research, I have decided upon the Meyers-Briggs personality test as the basis for this program because I believe it possesses the widest range of possibility in personality types having 16 different personality types that one could potentially fit into. With this being said, I am seeking assistance in fine-tuning some of the ideas for the program and receiving feedback that could potentially enhance the program.

I am actively seeking one or more Mental Health Professionals to volunteer their time to our organization with the explicit intent of assisting in creating our program. We would like an open-minded individual, who is full of new and intuitive ideals, and who shares our vision for using mindfulness and coping skills as an implementation into our consumers' daily lives. Ideally, the Mental Health Professional would be knowledgeable on subjects that could help with educating, program creation, networking, mental illness, mindfulness within psychology, coping skills and mental illness, funding opportunities, insurance, or new therapeutic techniques.

At this stage, we need to complete our program to start applying for grants and putting our goals into action. With the completion of this program, our nonprofit will be able to actively assist in helping people who struggle with mental illness. I would appreciate your assistance because we are in a mental health crisis, and all of us should do what we can to assist in that. I want to bring down the suicide statistics, and I believe this could be a step in the right direction with your help! You could help us complete our vision leading to help and recovery for those who struggle.

We have done much research on the professionals needed during the program's duration while teaching different coping skills. We have budgeted estimates and contacted professionals to gauge interest. We have found that many are willing and ready to help whenever the program is completed!
