Mental Health First Aid
BECOME A MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AIDER
If you’ve taken a physical first aid course, you’ve learned the skills needed to help someone experiencing a sudden illness or injury.
People can also have mental health crisis, and it is important that more Canadians know how to provide help in these situations too.
"If I sprain my ankle, chances are you’ll know what to do. If I have a panic attack, chances are you won’t."
Mental Health First Aid 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.
Waypoint has certified Mental Health First Aid trainers and offers the course several times a year available to anyone. The course is 12 hours over two days. You must attend the entire 12 hour course to receive a certificate.
COST:
$50 includes participant manual, refreshments and light lunch.

mental health problem or in a mental health crisis
