VRCA – Mental Health First Aid
June 21, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Vancouver Regional Construction Association – Mental Health First Aid
The 12-hour course provides general information about what is meant by mental health problems and illnesses, how to identify signs of mental health problems in yourself and others, effective interventions and treatments, and how to support an individual and help them find out about and access the professional help they may need.
It also dispels common myths surrounding mental health problems and reduces the stigma around mental illness, since estimates suggest that more than half of people with a mental health problem will never seek treatment.
The course doesn’t train people to diagnose mental illness or be a therapist or counsellor, it provides the first aider with actions to guide a person in need to appropriate professional help when a problem first arises. We know the sooner a person with a mental health problem gets help, the better their chances of recovery.
