The course provides the skills needed to recognize when someone may be experiencing a mental health issue and the confidence to offer initial support until appropriate professional help is available.

Participants learn about common signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges, how to interact with a person in crisis, and how to connect individuals to appropriate care and resources.
