About the Course:
Created by the Mental Health Commission of Canada and tailored to the Veteran Community, the Mental Health First Aid – Veteran Community (MHFA-VC) is an evidence-based course that teaches participants to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance abuse disorders.
This course is not a treatment for mental health problems and is not appropriate for someone who is currently experiencing mental health issues. The material and discussions may be too difficult for someone whose mental health is compromised and it may be a detriment to their well-being. They should be encouraged to seek assistance from a mental health professional.
