REACH Edmonton, though the YEG Reconnect initiative, is bringing you specialized training and resources, in partnership with Wellness Works Canada, through Mental Health First Aid Training sessions and certification. Mental Health First Aid is any support provided to a person who may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis. The course will train you to recognize the needs of peers, family members and colleagues. You will learn to respond to their situation with care, and guide them to the appropriate support. This will help you to engage clients and stakeholders with confidence and improve mental health among friends and colleagues, while developing understanding about this critical issue.
