Mental Health First Aid is a valuable course that seeks to decrease stigma, and increase understanding of mental illnesses, interventions, resources, and supports.  While it doesn't teach participants to be counsellors, it does build skills in recognizing mental health problems, increasing confidence in having some difficult conversations, decreases stigma, and decreases social distance between helpers and those who may be suffering.

​

Mental Health First Aid is rooted in research, ongoing development, and consistent program delivery in order to provide the best outcomes possible.  It is classified by the Public Health Agency of Canada as a best practice, meaning it has high impact, adaptability, and quality of research and evidence of efficacy.
