Join us for a free, in-person, Mental Health First Aid for the Veteran Community (MHFA-VC) training session to learn how to recognize signs of mental health challenges, provide initial support, and connect Veterans and their families with helpful resources.
This one-day session is open to medically released Veterans, medically released Veteran spouses, family members, friends, and individuals who support the Veteran community. There is no cost to participate and no previous mental health training is required.
Participants will explore practical tools for having supportive conversations, responding to mental health concerns, and better understanding the unique experiences of Veterans and their families.
A workbook is provided along with a light lunch. Participants can bring a water bottle and notebook if desired.
The session is facilitated by Sherry Lachine, Master of Science in Applied Psychology.
Register by email by October 26 to VFP@PetawawaMFRC.com.
