Myth: You need to be a professional to support someone with their mental health.
Fact: You need empathy, awareness, and the right tools.

Mental Health First Aid is a new training offering at the Crisis Centre. This training equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to recognize changes in mental health, respond supportively, and take action.

By bringing this training to the Crisis Centre, we hope to expand how our community can support each other: build practical skills, increase confidence in responding to mental health challenges, and reduce stigma so that more people feel supported when they need it most.

Registration is now open for our first sessions. Visit our website to learn more and register:
