CHECK IN NIGHT

OUR COMMUNITY ALWAYS CHECKS IN WITH US, NOW WE'RE CHECKING IN WITH THEM.

A complimentary overnight to nominated Vermonters to attend a series of mental health related training sessions, lived-experience storytelling, and networking held at the hotel Monday, March 18 - Tuesday, March 19.

Hotel Vermont recognizes the ongoing need to have open and honest conversation around mental health for our individual and collective wellbeing. As a community gathering space, we are taking the opportunity to further our advocacy by presenting our second annual mental heath “Check In Night” in partnership with NAMI Vermont and United Way of Northwest Vermont. We are extending complimentary overnights to a selection of nominated Vermonters to attend a series of mental health related training sessions, lived-experience storytelling, and networking held at the hotel on Monday and Tuesday, March 18-19.

Our hope is to further de-stigmatize conversations around mental health and equip the community with the tools to support friends, family, coworkers, the wider Vermont community, and themselves. This spans from the ability to recognize signs, address symptoms, navigate hard conversations, and look to outside resources when you need further professional guidance.

Hotel Vermont will extend this opportunity to Vermonters by asking the community to nominate individuals (or themselves) that they feel display the willingness to share new tools and resources, be an active peer mentor, and will continue open mental health conversation. These individuals will enjoy an overnight at the hotel full of training, community networking, and storytelling in hopes that they leave as mental health advocates and mentors in both the wider community and respective professional and personal spaces following these programs.

 

PARTICIPANTS

Attendees will be selected from a pool of nominated community members. In accepting the overnight stay, participants are making a promise to attend the scheduled programming with the intention of leaving as a peer mentor and mental health resource in their workspaces, family, friends, and or wider community. Nominate a peer (or yourself!) below.

NOMINATION FORM – We’re sorry, nominations are now closed.
