SUMMARY:Mental Health First Aid - November 20 - Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a transformative full-day workshop designed to equip you with the essential skills and confidence to support mental health in yourself and others. The MHFA Essentials course offers practical knowledge to help you recognize\, respond\, and intervene in mental health challenges\, from everyday signs of stress to crisis situations. \nThis course\, delivered over 7 hours with breaks\, is perfect for individuals wanting to learn how to support those experiencing mental health struggles\, while also enhancing their own mental well-being. Whether you’re a workplace leader\, community volunteer\, or just someone passionate about mental health advocacy\, this course will deepen your understanding of mental health\, reduce stigma\, and build a strong foundation in supportive communication. \nThroughout the course\, participants will learn how to: \n\nRecognize mental health changes: Understand the differences between mental health\, mental illness\, and mental health conditions. Learn to spot signs of declining mental health across its continuum.\nRespond to mental health crises: Master the ALGES framework to apply empathy\, reassurance\, and appropriate responses in real-world scenarios\, including crisis situations like suicidal thoughts.\nSupport others with respect: Practice effective communication techniques that challenge mental health stigma and emphasize recovery-oriented support.\nSelf-care strategies: Discover essential self-care practices to maintain your own mental health while helping others.\n\nBy the end of the course\, you’ll be empowered to provide mental health support to those in need and take proactive steps to care for your own mental health. \nImportant Note: A minimum of 8 participants is required for the training to proceed. If fewer than 8 participants are confirmed 48 hours prior to the session\, the course will be rescheduled in accordance with MHCC’s group size policy. \nCancellation Policy: \nCancellations must be submitted via email (training@csshsa.ca) at least 5 business days before the scheduled course to receive a refund or reschedule. \nLate cancellations or no-shows are not eligible for refunds or rescheduling.
