Course Objective
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 toward individuals living with mental health or substance use problems. It prevents people from seeking help and providing appropriate support to people around them.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is offered to someone with an emerging mental health or substance use problem or in crisis, until appropriate treatment is found or the situation resolves. An evidence-based course, MHFA Standard has been proven to give participants:
the tools to recognize signs of decline in mental well-being.
the ability to talk about their mental health.
the knowledge to discuss professional and other supports that could help with recovery or improved mental well-being.
the confidence to reach out to these supports.
the tools to assist during a mental health or substance use crisis, and.
the knowledge to use MHFA actions to maintain one’s own mental wellness.
Successful participants will achieve a Mental Health First Aid certificate from the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
Topics:
This 9-hour course opens with a self-directed module (Module 1) that focuses on the information and strategies that participants will discuss and practice throughout the live classroom modules (Modules 2 and 3). Course participants will complete Module 1 before participating in Modules 2 and 3.
Upon registration, participants will receive a Participant Reference Guide which outlines MHFA actions for mental health and substance use problems and crises.
Module 1: Self-directed module (2 hours – must be completed prior to attending the first livestream) that introduces participants to the concepts of the course and Mental Health First Aid actions.
Module 2: Live classroom module (3.5 hours) that discusses tools on how to apply MHFA actions to situations of declining mental well-being and guidelines for MHFA conversations with diverse populations.
Module 3: Live classroom module (3.5 hours) that gives participants the opportunity to practice applying MHFA actions to crisis situations and discusses the importance of self-care.
Cancellation Policy:
Should the course be cancelled, the instructor will provide advance notice and alternative dates will be provided or a full refund will be made.
If a participant cancels their registration the refunded amount will be in full if a 1 week written notice has been provided. If cancellation is given less than 1 week, then no refund will be given. If a participant does not complete Module 1 of the course by the specified deadline, then that participant is not eligible for a refund and their registration is non-transferable.
