Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) VIRTUAL
All events Wellness
VIRTUAL WORKSHOP - The Mental Health Commission of Canada reports that one in every five Canadians experiences a mental health problem within a given year. While we often know a lot about physical illness, there tends to be less knowledge about mental health or substance use problems. This lack of understanding leads to fear and negative attitudes towards individuals living with these problems. It prevents people from seeking help for themselves and from providing appropriate support to people around them.
1-day virtual workshop - Mental Health First Aid Standard
The virtual Mental Health First Aid - Standard includes 9 course hours and one 2-hour self-directed module (module 1).
Participants are REQUIRED to complete Module 1 before participating in Module 2 and 3.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the support provided to a person who may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis.
Course participants will learn how to:
- Recognize signs that a person may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis
- Have conversations that encourage a person to:
- Talk about declines in their mental well-being
- Discuss professional and other supports that could help with recovery to improve mental well-being
- Reach out to supports
- Assist in a mental health or substance use crisis
- Use MHFA actions to maintain one’s own mental well-being
‘First Aiders’ do not take on the role of professionals – they do not diagnose or provide any counselling or therapy.
