Clients, customers, family, friends, and co-workers; 1 in 5 Canadians will experience a mental health or addiction problem this year. Many of us have taken a first aid course and we renew them every few years, but few of us have taken a Mental Health First Aid Course. Earlier this month I took this course led by Jackie Ralph in Owen Sound and it was incredible, I highly recommend it. For more information check out this link GREY BRUCE CANADIAN MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION PROGRAMS, but don't take my word for it, take a few minutes and watch Dr. David Goldbloom from CAMH (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health) briefly explain the concept behind Mental Health First Aid.
