This virtual delivery of the Mental Health First Aid course is facilitated by Professor Melissa Taaffe and available for direct purchase from Mental Health MasterClass. Please join us for a great day of interactive activities aimed at developing hands-on skills and approaches to assist people in need. This course will take place in a Google Classroom and no prior experience using an online classroom is necessary.
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 and encourage that person to:
- Talk about declines in their mental well-being
- Discuss professional and other supports that could help with recovery to improved mental well-being
- Reach out to these supports
- Assist in a mental health or substance use crisis
- Use MHFA actions to maintain one’s own mental well-being
Successful participants will achieve a Mental Health First Aid certificate from the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
