Mental Health First Aid Training returns this March
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is offered to someone with an emerging mental health problem or in a mental health crisis until appropriate treatment is found or the situation is resolved.
You may already possess a vast array of skills. What this course does, is give you the opportunity to add to that kit. Mental Health First Aid is translatable to all facets of your life and not merely directed to your clients or staff. You will gain the ability to apply the skills you learn with your friends, loved ones, and most importantly to yourself, and you will see that it is not only for people in crisis. It is essentially an advanced communications course that will serve you in all relationships. This course can be a game changer for people!
This 9-hour evidence-based course has a blended learning approach consisting of:
- Introduction - Virtually attend and meet Mental Health First Aid Instructor, Penny MacLean, where she explains to logistics of the course. (date #1 = 30 minutes)
- Module 1 - Complete online, self-directed learning. (approximately 2 hours)
- Module 2 - Participate in an interactive, virtual classroom session, facilitated by Penny, which gives participants the opportunity to practice and increase their awareness and confidence. (date #2 = 7 hours)
Your training culminates in a nationally recognized certified micro-credential.
