AFC – Mental Health First Aid Training

Various dates

Mental health first aid is the support provided to people who may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis. Mental health first aid skills can be as vital as knowing CPR during a cardiac emergency. The AFC is working towards a time when there is someone who is trained in mental health first aid at every set, stage, venue, and workplace in the industry. Let’s make mental well-being a priority!

The course was developed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada. During the course, the participants will learn how to:

  • Recognize signs that a person may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis.
  • Find and reach out to professional and other supports that could help with recovery to improved mental well-being.
  • Assist in a mental health or substance use crisis.
  • Use MHFA actions to maintain one’s own mental well-being.
