Description:
Mental health issues will affect one in three Canadians at some point in their life; chances are there are people around you who need help. This two-day Mental Health 鈥淔irst Aid鈥� course teaches participants skills needed to help someone who may be developing a mental health problem or is experiencing a mental health crisis. This course does not train you to be a therapist, counselor or mental health professional, but instead teaches you how to apply the needed 鈥渇irst aid鈥� until professional help is received or until the crisis is resolved. The course covers the following topics:
- What is meant by mental health and mental illness problems
- Signs and symptoms of common mental health problems and crisis situations
- A basic model to provide mental health aid
- Information about effective interventions and treatments
- How to access professional help
Upon completion of the course, participants will receive a Mental Health First Aid Canada Certificate. For this reason, attendance is mandatory for the full two days.聽
