Love this.

If you’ve ever seen a news article about mental health and mental illness, you can probably still picture the stock photo that went along with it. Someone is sitting alone in the dark. Maybe with their head in their hands. Maybe peering out a window at the rain. You know the photo. Learn more on how photography can inspire hope in our blog: https://bit.ly/44246Nx

Intended for adults who have frequent contact with young people (ages 12-25), such as parents, guardians, school staff, sports coaches, and youth workers.

It is most relevant when it is first becoming apparent to an adult that a young person in their family, classroom or other network is developing a mental health problem. Assist a young person with a history of mental illness or substance problems, and support a young person in crisis. Learn about the four most common disorders among youth, eating disorders and deliberate self-injury.

Be kind to yourself.

The holidays might be called the happiest time of the year, but is that always true? Remind yourself that it’s impossible to meet everyone’s expectations, including your own. Making plans to spread love and joy to others needs to include yourself. Self-care may be the most precious gift you can give to yourself. https://mentalhealthcommission.ca/blog-posts/52736-add-wellness-to-your-holiday-to-do-list/

12 septembre 2020 marque la Journée mondiale des premiers secours. Cet événement annuel vise à sensibiliser le public à l’égard des habiletés en secourisme qui permettent de sauver des vies et de prévenir les traumatismes.

Selon les résultats d’un récent sondage de la Croix-Rouge, près de 40 % des Canadiens affirment qu’ils ont dû administrer les premiers soins lors d’une situation d’urgence; toutefois, seulement 18 % de la population détient un certificat de secourisme. En cette Journée mondiale des premiers secours, la Croix-Rouge canadienne exhorte tous les Canadiens à se prémunir des compétences nécessaires pour sauver des vies en cas d’urgence.

Les premiers soins en santé mentale (PSSM), sont l’aide apportée aux personnes qui commencent à manifester un problème de santé mentale ou qui traversent une crise psychologique. Tout comme les premiers soins apportés en cas de blessures physiques, les premiers soins en santé mentale sont prodigués jusqu’à ce qu’un traitement approprié soit offert ou jusqu’à ce que la crise se résorbe.
