Mental Health & Wellness Programs
Psychological Safety is a priority for everyone.
First Aid typically focuses on physical injury and illness; but when there is a mental health emergency, most of us are not prepared to help. Mental health is an important part of overall well-being, and knowing how to support someone experiencing a mental health emergency can make all the difference.
St. John Ambulance offers a range of courses designed to help participants recognize and respond to mental health emergencies, both at home and at work.
