Mental Health First Aid: Adults Who Interact with Youth

A workshop for MSC and CMU students offered by the Canadian Mental Health Assocation

This 2-day training course was developed to help people provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The course is a skills workshop with a focus on mental health first aid skills and can be taken for credit as CRS-2111(1.5).

Students taking CRS-3332(3) Trauma & Violence are strongly encouraged to enrol in this workshop.
