WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID?
Mental Health First Aid is the help provided to a person developing a mental health problem, experiencing the worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. Just like physical first aid is provided until medical treatment can be obtained, MHFA is given until appropriate support is found or until the crisis is resolved.
We offer in-person or online training sessions; both courses are certified by Mental Health First Aid Canada, through the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
VIRTUAL TRAINING
Our virtual training sessions are broken into three modules. Module #1 is an online, self-guided program offered through MHFA Canada and takes about two hours to complete. Modules #2 and #3 are both 4 hour, live group trainings provided by a facilitator through a Zoom classroom. The virtual course content is similar to in-person sessions. The facilitation in the virtual classroom is focused on effective communication, appropriate intervention, and recognition of a potential crisis. These sessions are for groups of 8 - 15 people.
IN-PERSON TRAINING
In person sessions are two full days of experiential learning for groups of 8 - 25 people.
These sessions provide education regarding how to recognize signs and symptoms of a mental health problem, coaching on how to effectively intervene, and leave participants with greater confidence in supporting others with their mental wellness.
