Project: Mental Health First Aid Training
Organization: The Canadian Mental Health Association
FIG Fund Grant: $5,000
Through the FIG fund grant, the Canadian Mental Health Association facilitated Mental Health First Aid Training.
The program was for women and girls, focusing on suicide prevention and other relevant skills for mental health wellness. From this funding CMHA-NL completed two Mental Health First Aid training sessions. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the
help provided to a person developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.
The response from participants was tremendously positive:
“Jillian was an exceptional presenter and very relatable. Great presentation.”
“This was wonderful. I will use everything I learned today.”
“I enjoyed the training as a whole! But the perspectives of others shared was a wonderful
highlight to understanding.”
“This should be taught to everyone.”
