Community Training 
 

We believe in the power of community!
Our Distress Line responders are not experts or professionals; just community members like you who are committed to making a difference in the lives of those who are struggling.

From this perspective, we are committed to providing community training to support safer, more supportive, and inclusive communities. Offering workshops like LivingWorks SafeTALK and OpeningMinds/MHCC Mental Health First Aid also provides funding to support our distress line and staffing operations.

What We Offer

Community Mental Health Micro Units (Starting Early 2025.) These Lunch & Learn style workshops will explore social issues affecting mental health and well-being in our community. Developed by our Telecare Training Team.

Mental Health First Aid (Standard) is a blended 9-hour interactive workshop that teaches participants how to identify someone who is having a mental health crisis, and where to connect them to appropriate first aid. This workshop is available both virtually and in-person.

SafeTALK is a 3.5-hour interactive, in-person workshop that teaches participants how to identify those who may be having thoughts of suicide and how to connect these people to appropriate suicide first aid. We offer this certificate training regularly, in-person in Simcoe County.
